Erik ten Hag’s time at Man United is coming to an end after Sir Jim Ratcliffe has announced VERY SAD news for him this evening
Manchester United are allegedly close to deciding on Erik ten Hag’s future after their FA Cup semi-final victory against Coventry.
After a 3-3 draw in extra time at Wembley Stadium, United won on penalties.
But it was the manner of the ultimate triumph that will have concerned Ten Hag, with United leading 3-0 and in command before capitulating in the latter portion of the second half.
It was almost identical to other United performances this season, however the fact that their most recent effort was against Championship opponents will have been the most concerning.
Majority owners Avram and Joel Glazer, as well as minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, were in attendance at Wembley Stadium, as was newly-appointed technical director Jason Wilcox, who is reported to be reviewing Ten Hag’s performance.
According to Neil Custis of The Sun, United’s management is considering dismissing Ten Hag even if the club wins the FA Cup versus Manchester City.
According to the article, it is ‘looking more doubtful’ that the Dutchman will be in charge next season, and Ratcliffe’s refusal to express public support at this time is also considered against Ten Hag.
In a post-match interview with the club’s official website, the United manager characterized his team’s second consecutive FA Cup final appearance as a ‘great success,’ but said that they still needed to develop.
He said, “We had complete control for so long and then gave it up in the last stages of the game.
“We shown resilience in winning the penalty shootout. We had control for 75 minutes and must praise Coventry on their performance in the last 15 minutes.
“But we need to improve. We speak a lot about it. First, you establish a winning position, but then you must cross the finish line.
“In these instances, we make errors and fail to fulfill our commitments. We must demonstrate resilience. When you have that much control, you should win easily.”
