He will do so on an interim basis while the English club finds a new coach for the first team.
The already dismissed Ten Hag was appointed coach in April 2022 and led the club to victory the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024. “Manchester United is grateful to Erik for everything he has done during this time and wishes him the best for the future,” the club noted in its official note.
