ERIK TEN HAG has been spotted for the first time since returning to Holland after being released from Manchester United.

The manager was eventually sacked of his duties at Old Trafford earlier this week, following the club’s disastrous start to the season.

The Red Devils had only won three league games this season under the Dutchman, their poorest start in history.

And, with the Red Devils ranked 13th in the Premier League, club executives decided they needed to act.

The final nail in the coffin was Ten Hag’s team’s 2-1 loss to West Ham at the London Stadium.

Despite dominating the game, his team failed to capitalize on their chances, and Jarrod Bowen’s penalty sealed the defeat.

After being fired, Ten Hag, 54, took a private jet back to Holland.

However, he appears to have no intention of taking a sabbatical from football.

Ten Hag waited only a few days to attend a Dutch Eredivisie game between Heracles Almelo and NAC Breda.

Brian De Keersmaecker scored twice for Heracles at the Erve Asito stage, giving them a 2-0 win.

He replied, “Of course, Erik ten Hag has time. He is using that time to watch a good football game at Almelo.”

Despite their triumph, the club lost no time in appointing a full-time manager to take over at Old Trafford.

Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim has agreed to take over the role for a tenure ending in 2027.

Amorim, 39, has agreed to a £6.5 million-a-year contract and claims he turned down three times that amount from another club that met his £8.3 million buyout clause.

However, he indicated that he did not make the decision to leave Sporting lightly.

He stated, “United came along, paid the price, went above the clause, and the chairman protected his interests.

“The only request I made to United was that it take place after the season ended, but they said it wasn’t possible and that it was now or never.”

“I had three days to make a life-altering decision.” This is not the first time that another team has paid my clause.

“Nor is it the second. It’s very difficult for me to leave.

“The club realized that if I declined, I would not receive it in six months.

“And I knew that after six months, I’d have to leave Sporting. United was the only club I wanted and felt inspired by.

“It got to the point where I had to make a choice—and I did. Now I’m going home much more calmly.

“I’d make three times more with the last team that agreed to pay my clause. I donated everything I had to the club.

“I changed my mind several times. My first priority is not to endanger the sports team. And we’ll see later. I’ll be worried about that when I’m at United.”
