Manchester United had only won three of their league games under the Dutchman this season – their worst start EVER.

The final nail in the coffin came after Ten Hag’s side lost 2-1 away to West Ham after a late penalty from Jarrod Bowen.

After he was hit with the axe, Ten Hag hopped on a private jet back to his homeland in Holland.

He was spotted at the De Grolsch Veste on Sunday evening to watch his two former sides compete.

Ten Hag watched on as FC Twente and Ajax played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in the Eredivisie.

Ten Hag turned out for Twente during his playing career and had two spells at the side.

He made his professional debut with the club back in 1989 before leaving the following year.

But he returned to the Enschede outfit in 1996 for a six-year spell before retiring in 2002.

Ten Hag never played for Ajax but was the club’s manager between 2018 and 2022 before he landed the Man United job.

During his time at Ajax, he won the Eredivise title in three of his four seasons in charge.

The manager also KNVB Cup twice and guided the club to the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.

Fans believe that Ten Hag was at the match as he was watching his potential new club.

One commented: “He wants to come back.”

A second posted: “Hope he coaches Ajax again.”

A third wrote: “Patiently waiting for the next to be sacked so he can take over.”

A fourth. said: “Just want to go back.”

Another added: “Wants his old job back!”

It is not the first football match he has attended since he was sacked by Man United.

Earlier this month, he watched Heracles Almelo beat NAC Breda 2-0 in the league.

Man United have since replaced Ten Hag with Sporting Lisbon‘s Ruben Amorim.

The Portuguese manager has signed a contract worth £6.5million-a-year until 2027.

He claimed he turned down THREE TIMES that amount from another club who met his £8.3m buy-out clause.
