Erik ten Hag FA Cup Final Focus at Manchester United

Erik ten Hag, amidst uncertainty over reports of his imminent sacking, is preparing for the FA Cup final as Manchester United manager. On Friday morning, The Guardian heightened speculations regarding Erik Ten Hag future, suggesting that the Dutchman would face dismissal regardless of the outcome against Manchester City on Saturday (15:00 BST) at Wembley.

While opting not to comment, sources within the club emphasize Manchester United’s focus on the cup final against Pep Guardiola’s side. They aim to end a challenging season positively. The club affirms its dedication to conducting an end-of-season review to assess the team’s performance. Following this evaluation, they will determine Ten Hag’s future with the club.

Notably, Ten Hag or his representatives have had no communication with Manchester United. Eight years ago, Louis van Gaal faced job uncertainty during the FA Cup final, mirroring Ten Hag’s situation. Both managers faced tense moments despite their teams’ involvement in the prestigious tournament.

Despite winning the 2016 final, United informed Van Gaal of contract termination 24 hours later. The abrupt move came as a surprise to many, given the team’s recent triumph in the prestigious tournament.
