Erik ten Hag was seen at his favorite restaurant in Manchester on Monday, only three weeks after being fired by Manchester United.
The Dutchman, whose two-and-a-half-year reign as Manchester United manager was abruptly ended following the Red Devils’ 2-1 defeat over West Ham last month, flew to the Netherlands on a private jet mere hours after being fired.
Since Ten Hag’s departure, club great Ruud van Nistelrooy has overseen an undefeated stint as interim manager ahead of Ruben Amorim’s much anticipated arrival in Manchester. According to Daily Mail.
Ten Hag, 54, was joined by his wife Bianca for a lunch at his favorite restaurant, Piccolino’s in Hale Village. The couple is thought to have been clearing away possessions at their adjacent estate earlier that day.

Amorim, who began working for United last week, attended his first training session at Carrington on Monday.
The highly regarded Portuguese coach lacked a full group of first-team players to work with because many of his top players were on international assignment.
During the session, Amorim appeared to field his strongest team against a young opponent.
Amorim performed a 3-4-3 formation for the most of his 231 games in charge of Sporting, and it appears he intends to remain with that style.
His first test will be an away journey to Portman Road to play Ipswich Town on Sunday, when the Premier League resumes from its final international break of the year.
One of Amorim’s first acts as Red Devils manager was to remove Van Nistelrooy from his coaching staff.
The former United striker, who was Ten Hag’s number two before becoming interim manager, had planned to stay at Old Trafford under Amorim but was deemed surplus to requirements by the Portuguese.
