The Red Devils are 14th in the Premier League with just three wins from their opening nine matches, while they are 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League table.
Recall that the Manchester club triggered a one-year extension in Ten Hag’s contract following their FA Cup triumph in May, but just over three months later he has been dismissed.
The club said Van Nistelrooy would be in charge “while a permanent head coach is recruited”.
United are now seeking their sixth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
