Manchester United’s decision to part ways with Erik Ten Hag feels like the inevitable conclusion to a troubling period for both the manager and the club.
His time at United, which promised so much, ended up being a mix of underperformance and confusion, leaving the team in disarray and the brand seemingly diminished.

United finished eighth last season, far from the Champions League spots, and are currently 14th in the Premier League. Despite spending £600m on players, the team struggled to find a coherent style, with players appearing lost on the pitch.
Ten Hag, once seen as a strong leader, became a symbol of the club’s current struggles grappling with poor results, a fragmented squad, and constant talk of bad luck.
This latest failure reflects poorly on Ineos, the new ownership group, which has fumbled the succession process and left fans wondering if they have the know-how to steer this once-great club.
Their delay in sacking Ten Hag has only compounded the damage, putting the club’s future at risk in an increasingly competitive football landscape.

Looking ahead, the next managerial appointment will be critical. United needs a leader with fresh ideas and determination to restore the club’s prestige.
Candidates like Ruben Amorim are being considered, but whoever takes the reins will face the enormous challenge of managing United’s legacy, current dysfunction, and the urgent need to start winning again.
In the end, United’s immediate priority should be simple: focus on results and get back to winning, before the brand and legacy erode further.
