ERIK TEN HAG has broken his cover in a rare outing since his Manchester United sacking.
The manager was finally put out of his misery at Old Trafford in October following the club’s disastrous start to the season.
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.
