Erik ten Hag was born on 2 February 1970. He is a Dutch football manager and former player, who currently manages the Premier League club Manchester United. He started managing in the Netherlands and then had a major transition to the English top flight.
Coming To Manchester United
Ten Hag assumed Manchester United‘s managerial role in April 2022 after interim manager Ralf Rangnick left the club. The club also offered him a three-year contract, which reveals a high level of confidence in his skills.

2023 Carabao Cup winners: He oversaw United’s first major trophy in six years as they lifted the Carabao Cup.

Performance Statistics
Here are ten things about Ten Hag’s record as a manager at Manchester United:
- Matches Managed: 128
- Wins: 70
- Draws: 23
- Losses: 35
That equates to a win percentage of close to 54.7%, the second-best of any United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson left.
Challenges and Departure
The 2024 season started strongly, but more problems followed:
Premier League Position: Sitting in 14th place was never going to be good enough for a club of United’s size.
Recent Form: A string of underwhelming results, capped off by a 2-1 loss to West Ham United, raised questions about Ten Hag’s management.
As a result, Manchester United terminated Ten Hag on October 28th, 2024. The club thanked him for the work done and wished him all the best for his future.
Temporary Manager and Replacement
After Ten Hag was shown the door, former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy took charge on an interim basis. He could not have had a better introduction to his new club than in the Carabao Cup, when he scored five goals against Leicester City the most by any player on his debut against an English league team, beating Ten Hag’s record in the process.
At that stage, Manchester United were believed to have hired Rúben Amorim, but the Sporting Lisbon boss was later ruled out of the running. Amorim has a deal running through June 2027 with an option for another year.
