United swiftly appointed Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim as his successor.
In a statement released through his representatives, SEG, Ten Hag thanked United supporters, crediting them with creating a unique atmosphere at Old Trafford. "Thank you for always being there for the club," he said. "Whether it was at a game far away or a tough match at Old Trafford, your support has been unshakeable. The atmosphere at Old Trafford has always been electrifying, thanks to you."
Ten Hag took over as manager in the summer of 2022, bringing fresh hope and energy to the club. His first season saw United end their six-year trophy drought by lifting the Carabao Cup, finishing third in the Premier League, and ultimately capping the season with an FA Cup final victory over cross-town rivals Manchester City in May.
However, despite those early achievements, the club’s form declined in the 2024-25 campaign, with United slipping to 14th in the league standings after nine games. The club’s management decided it was time for a change, leading to Ten Hag’s departure.
Reflecting on his time at United, Ten Hag shared, "We won two trophies—achievements that I will cherish for the rest of my life." He also thanked the club’s staff for their support, acknowledging the team behind the scenes that had stood by him through both triumphs and challenges.
“Of course my dream was to bring more trophies to the cabinet. Unfortunately, that dream has come to an end.
"I wish all Manchester United fans nothing but success, trophies and glory.
"Your support, and the warmth I received from everyone at the club, helped me feel at home. Thank you for this chapter in my life.”
