Erik ten Hag has broken his silence four months after leaving Manchester United earlier this season.
After a promising first season in charge that yielded a Carabao Cup triumph and qualification for the Champions League, Ten Hag’s second campaign threw up plenty of hurdles.
The 2023-24 season was one of uncertainty at the club with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos completing their 25 per cent takeover of the club and looking to revolutionise the club’s sporting departments, but on the pitch it was one of stagnant displays.
Though Ten Hag did manage to mastermind an FA Cup win last summer against bitter rivals Manchester City, it was ultimately not enough credit in the bank to see him survive a record poor start to 2024-25.
After less than three months of the campaign, Ten Hag’s position became untenable and he was duly sacked after a poor performance in losing 2-1 to West Ham, to be replaced by Ruben Amorim.
But now, he has given his first sit-down interview discussing his time at Old Trafford since then, with the full talk set to air on Tuesday.

The interview, trailers for which dropped on Monday, sees Ten Hag talk about what he misses most about Manchester United, and when he will next be looking to take charge of a new team.
‘I had already decided for myself, “okay I’m not doing anything until July 1”,’ the former Red Devils boss says.
‘If there’s one thing I miss it’s Old Trafford. You’re always working towards a dot on the horizon, but you never get to the horizon. We’ve had many highs.’
