Manchester United have finally ended the constant speculation around the future of manager Erik ten Hag by sacking him this morning. The Red Devils have put former player Ruud van Nistelrooy in place as interim head coach while the club consider their next options.

It brings and end to a turbulent period in charge for Ten Hag, who was seemingly under pressure of the sack after every game the club didn't win in the past year. United currently sit 14th in the Premier League after they were beaten 2-1 by West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday, a result that in large part was owed to the goal-scoring performance of former Leeds star Crysencio Summerville.

Jarrod Bowen may have got the injury-time penalty which made it 2-1 to the Hammers, but Summerville lit up the match after being brought on as a half-time substitute before going on to score in the 74th minute. The winger's performance has been universally praised, with Leeds fans more than aware of the impact the player made as they came to the same conclusion today.

@JackDurkss said; "Summerville finally getting Ten Hag the sack is quite poetic," which was a sentiment shared by many others. @GallantGlizzy said: "Summerville sacked him," which was also the take of @rossashton535; "Summerville got Ten Hag sacked lol."

Meanwhile, in their statement regarding the news, Manchester United said; "We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future. Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of the team as interim head coach, supported by the current coaching team, whilst a permanent head coach is recruited."
