Manchester United’s coach Erik ten Hag might be facing the FA Cup final against Manchester City without knowing if he will keep his job. There are reports that suggest he will be fired regardless of the outcome of the match at Wembley. The club has not confirmed or denied these rumors, insisting that their focus is solely on the upcoming final.
The situation is reminiscent of Louis van Gaal’s departure in 2016, where he won the FA Cup but was let go shortly after. Manchester United finished eighth in the Premier League this season, their worst performance in decades. If they lose the final against City, they will miss out on European football for only the second time since the early ’80s. Potential replacements for Ten Hag have been named, including Thomas Tuchel and Gareth Southgate.
Despite the uncertainty, Ten Hag has been planning for the next season. Manchester United will face Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday at 15:00 BST. The outcome of this match could play a significant role in determining the Dutch manager’s future at the club.
