Third former United manager to be sacked in recent days

Erik ten Hag has been sacked by Bayer Leverkusen after just three matches in charge. He was appointed as Xabi Alonso’s successor in May after the Bundesliga-winning coach left for Real Madrid.

The former Manchester United manager was dismissed on Monday morning following Leverkusen’s 3-3 draw with Werder Bremen on Saturday.
