Erik ten Hag sends goodbye message to Man Utd fans
Erik ten Hag sends goodbye message to Man Utd fans. Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has issued his official farewell statement to the Red Devils fans after parting ways with the club in October.
The Dutchman came to the end of his tenure at Old Trafford on 28 October after losing four of United’s opening nine league games. A 2-1 defeat to West Ham marked Ten Hag’s last game in the dugout for the Red Devils, with Ruben Amorim named as his permanent successor on 1 November.
The official appointment of United’s new head coach prompted Ten Hag to issue his final statement to fans, thanking them for the support he had received while in charge of the club.
Speaking through his management Sports Entertainment Group, a statement read;
“Let me start by thanking you, thank you for always being there for the club. Whether it was at a game far away or a tough match at Old Trafford, your support has been unshakeable.
“The atmosphere at Old Trafford has always been electrifying, thanks to you. I felt it many times. Also in away games, it gave the team and me an incredible feeling to hear the United chants taking over the opponents’ stadiums, whether the game was in England, Europe or during the summer tours.
“I always enjoyed meeting Manchester United fans throughout the world. Walking the streets and being able to chat with fans in England, Europe, Asia, Australia, the USA, you inspired me and radiated a strong sense of unity. That’s what makes United supporters so special.
“I want to thank you for giving me this feeling and for your support. I also want to thank the staff in every department of the club for their unwavering support in good times and bad.
“We won two trophies – achievements that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Of course, my dream was to bring more trophies to the cabinet. Unfortunately, that dream has come to an end. I wish all Manchester United fans nothing but success, trophies and glory. Your support and the warmth I received from everyone at the club helped me feel at home.
“Thank you for this chapter in my life.”
