Manchester United Sack Erik ten Hag

Manchester United have parted ways with manager Erik ten Hag following a disappointing start to the Premier League season.

The decision comes after Sunday's 2-1 defeat to West Ham United, leaving the Red Devils in 14th place in the league table. Ten Hag, who had his contract extended in the summer, has struggled to turn the club's fortunes around.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, a former United striker, will take over as interim manager. He is expected to lead the team in the Carabao Cup tie against Leicester City on Wednesday.

Sources suggest that United's decision to sack ten Hag was influenced by a series of poor results and performances, both this season and last. The club's eighth-place finish in the previous campaign and their slow start to the current season were major factors.

Despite extending ten Hag's contract in the summer, following a surprise FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, United's board ultimately lost faith in his ability to deliver success.

The club has already begun the search for a new permanent manager, with Thomas Tuchel and Gareth Southgate among the names being considered. However, Tuchel has since been appointed as England's national team manager, leaving Southgate as a potential option.

IPL 2024 Auction: After the auction for IPL 2024 in Dubai on Tuesday, two stalwarts of Indian cricket, wicketkeeper-batsmen MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant, were seen on the tennis court. In this scene, MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant were spotted holding tennis rackets in hand, facing each other on the court. The video of this moment is going viral on social media.

In the video, MS Dhoni appears astonished at a powerful shot played by Rishabh Pant. During this exchange, fans can also be seen making noise in response to the impressive shot.

Both stalwarts arrived in Dubai for the auction with their respective franchises. Rishabh Pant was also seen during the auction in the auction hall, placing bids for players while sitting at the Delhi Capitals' table. However, MS Dhoni was not spotted in the auction hall.

Pant was part of Delhi Capitals' auction strategy.

Though Rishabh Pant may be away from the cricket field, he played a crucial role in Delhi Capitals' auction strategy. He remained present in every franchise meeting and planning session. Consequently, the franchise had asked him to be present during the auction as well. In this auction, Delhi Capitals made the biggest bid for Indian uncapped cricketer Kumar Kushagra at 7.20 crores. The franchise also successfully acquired Jay Richardson (5 crores) and Harry Brook (4 crores) for their squad.

Dhoni's team selected powerful players.

In every decision of the Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni's role is pivotal, and he continues to formulate strategies with his franchise regarding the players. This time, Chennai placed significant bids in the auction for players like Daryl Mitchell (14 crores), Samit Rizvi (8.40 crores), and Shardul Thakur (4 crores), making them part of their squad. The franchise also strengthened its squad by acquiring Rachin Ravindra for a mere 1.80 crores.
