Erik ten Hag reportedly feels let down by stars Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, and Antony after being relieved of his Manchester United duties.
In what felt like a long time coming, Ten Hag was finally shown the exit door at Old Trafford on Monday. From the club's worst-ever Premier League finish to one of their worst ever starts, the past few years have not been kind to the Dutchman.
His compatriot and assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy will now take over in the interim, and Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim has emerged as the club's priority.
Mirror Football also understands United are pursuing a deal for their new number one target. While he was endlessly backed by new minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, Ten Hag's squad were simply sub-par throughout his tenure.
