Erik ten Hag breaks silence after sack, pens emotional letter to Man United fans

In the wake of his departure, former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag penned an emotional farewell to fans, expressing deep gratitude for their loyalty through thick and thin. His exit follows a challenging run, with United capturing only one victory in their last eight outings, ultimately succumbing to a 2-1 loss against West Ham.

Reflecting on his journey, Ten Hag poured his heart out to the fans, commending the energy they brought to every matchday, whether under the bright lights of Old Trafford or on the road. “The atmosphere you created at Old Trafford was unforgettable,” he wrote, “Your passion was unmatched, turning every game into a spectacle.”

He didn’t miss the chance to celebrate the club's global supporters, recalling the electric presence they brought across England, Europe, and even on summer tours. “Hearing United chants echo through rival stadiums filled us with pride and motivation,” Ten Hag shared, describing the bond that fueled both him and the players.

Ten Hag also reflected on his accomplishments, humbly acknowledging the two trophies won under his tenure. Though his aspirations for the club were cut short, he admitted, “I dreamed of adding more silverware to the cabinet, but sometimes, dreams come to an unexpected end.”

With his chapter now closed, Manchester United has confirmed Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim as the new manager. Known for his success at Sporting CP, Amorim will step in officially on November 11, bringing a fresh vision to the storied club.
