00:00Manchester United have sacked Eric Ten Haag and will now begin a search for a new manager to save their season.
00:05Early signs are pointing towards United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy taking interim charge.
00:09Ten Haag's compatriot joined the coaching staff this summer after a pretty successful period as manager of PSV Eindhoven.
00:15The news of the sacking comes after Manchester United lost late on to a struggling West Ham United over the weekend,
00:20with Jared Bowen's penalty proving to not only be the straw that broke the camel's back in the game, but also in the tenure of Eric Ten Haag.
00:27The former Ajax coach managed his way through a turbulent summer in which it was never clear whether new minority owner Jim Ratcliffe believed in his ability to run the team.
00:34Eventually it was announced that he would keep the job, but a league start that's yielded only 11 points from 9 games has left the Red Devils languishing in 14th position.
00:42It's been over 10 years now since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club, but the team has never quite been able to replace the Scot,
00:47but the next appointment will be permanent manager number 6 since Sir Alex was able to bring back some significant success to Old Trafford.
00:54Further suggestions point to Xavi, with Graham Potter and Gareth Southgate both frequently mentioned by fans and pundits alike as well.
