Erik ten Hag has wished Manchester United fans "nothing but success, trophies and glory" after his sacking following a poor start to the season. Sporting Lisbon head coach Ruben Amorim was confirmed as the Dutchman's permanent successor on Friday and will start work on November 11. Ten Hag led United to victory in the League Cup final and a third-placed Premier League finish in 2023, following up with an FA Cup triumph against Manchester City in his second season. But United limped home eighth in the league and the Dutchman paid the price for a poor start to the new campaign.
