Manchester United will NOT sack Erik ten Hag before FA Cup final despite calls for him to face the ax immediately – but players ‘already believe his fate is sealed’
Manchester United will not sack Erik ten Hag before this month’s FA Cup final, despite Monday night’s humiliating defeat at Crystal Palace increasing pressure on the manager.
The 4-0 defeat leaves United struggling to qualify for Europe next season and has led former players – including Michael Owen and Paul Scholes – to call for his immediate dismissal.
But Mail Sport understands there are no plans to fire Ten Hag before United face Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley on May 25.
The belief is that nothing will be gained by removing Ten Hag with four games – three Premier League and the FA Cup final – still to play before the end of the campaign.
While this may give Ten Hag confidence that he can continue for a third season in charge if United beat City at Wembley, the final decision will be made after this match.
No decision on Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United will be made until the FA Cup final.
A number of players believe Ten Hag’s fate is already sealed after a poor season.
More soon.
