Speaking ahead of Manchester City’s trip to London for their EFL Cup game against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, Guardiola sent best wishes to the former Ajax manager.
The Spaniard said he feels sorry for Ten Hag, and that the latter always represented Manchester United at the highest level in terms of behaviour.
“I’m so sorry for him. I have an incredible relationship, and I think he represents Man United at the highest level in terms of behaviour,” Guardiola told the press.
“I wish him all the best, he and his family, and he’s going to come back stronger, and he knows, I know, everybody knows that our job depends on results. When the results are not good enough, we are always on the verge of staying or being sacked,” he added.
The Eastern Updates had reported that English club Manchester United have finally sacked their head coach, Erik ten Hag with Ruud van Nistelrooy taking charge of the team as interim head coach while a permanent head coach is recruited.
Ten Hag’s two-and-a-half-year spell at Old Trafford ended on Monday after a poor start to the campaign.
The development comes after a series of poor results, with United sitting 14th in the Premier League table.
Ten Hag was appointed in April 2022 and led the club to two domestic trophies, winning the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.
The 54-year-old former Ajax boss was backed by new co-owners INEOS in the summer with a contract extension until June 2026.
However, Man Utd’s underwhelming start to the new campaign has now seen the manager pay the price for their patchy form.
