After being fired by Manchester United, manager Erik ten Hag was spotted using a private jet to fly back to his native Netherlands.

Hours after being given the notice of dismissal, the Dutchman hurriedly packed up his things at home in Cheshire. Then he quickly got into a car and drove to the airport in Manchester to travel back to Amsterdam.

Before leaving, Ten Hag took the opportunity to say goodbye and hug airport staff on the tarmac. “Ten Hag made an emotional farewell after being brutally sacked by Manchester United,” the Mirror described.

The picture demonstrates how amiable Ten Hag was to everyone in his vicinity. This mastermind was previously spotted attempting to evade the cameras as he was being led from his Cheshire residence.

The final time supporters saw the Dutch coach lead MU was during the team’s 1-2 loss at West Ham in the Premier League’s round 9 on October 27. When the “Red Devils” performed too poorly, Ten Hag was fired by the board of directors.

As anticipated, Erik ten Hag will be replaced as MU’s temporary coach by Ruud Van Nistelrooy. This is now the greatest choice for the “Red Devils,” and the team’s board of directors has been considering it since the start of the summer. Reviving the team’s spirit is Van Nistelrooy’s first priority.

The Old Trafford club is currently looking for a strategist to take Ten Hag’s place. Potential successors to Ten Hag include Thomas Frank of Brentford, former Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez, Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim, and former Dortmund coach Edin Terzic.
