Erik ten Hag sacking verdict reached after Man Utd’s FA Cup final victory

Manchester United FA Cup Triumph: What It Means for Erik ten Hag’s Future

A Perfect Ending for Erik ten Hag?

A few believed in their chances, but Manchester United FA Cup final victory on Saturday could be the perfect way for Erik ten Hag to conclude his tenure as manager. If this is indeed his final performance, it’s a memorable one.

Review and Decision Time for Manchester United

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the United top brass will review the team’s season in the coming days. During this review, they will decide Ten Hag’s fate.

Despite numerous reports suggesting a decision had already been made before the final, the FA Cup win could influence the outcome.

The Impact of the FA Cup Victory

Does this victory change anything for Ten Hag? Can the Dutchman get another chance after leading his team to defeat Manchester City? We asked the Mirror Football team for their opinions.

Criticism and Praise: A Mixed Bag

Critics who criticized Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer for asking Ten Hag leading questions after the FA Cup final need to reconsider. Manchester United is a global powerhouse where winning is crucial, not just a club for gentlemen.

Ten Hag, a decent person, will cherish this victory if it’s his swansong at Old Trafford. He silenced the noisy neighbors with a 2-1 victory, marking four consecutive wins against them.

Unforgettable Defeats Still Haunt

However, this win doesn’t erase the embarrassing defeats of the last two seasons. Heavy losses at Anfield (7-0), Palace (4-0), Brentford (4-0), and Brighton (4-0) still linger. How many humiliations should Sir Jim Ratcliffe overlook?

Manchester United Challenges

BBC pundit Shearer questioned United’s tenacity, discipline, and organization. What happened to the occasional brilliance, like Kobbie Mainoo’s goal in the Cup final? United’s eighth-place finish and exit at the bottom of the Champions League group, trailing behind Copenhagen and Galatasaray, are hard to ignore.

A Disappointing Season

United finished 31 points behind the leaders, a disappointing season by any measure. Ten Hag often lamented injuries, but he should consider how Mauricio Pochettino, Eddie Howe, and Ange Postecoglou managed their teams under similar circumstances. Their dressing rooms often resembled field hospitals too.

Tot Ziens, Erik?

As the review looms, it’s unclear if Ten Hag will remain at the helm. His future with Manchester United hangs in the balance, and only time will tell if this FA Cup victory will be enough to secure his position.
