BREAKING NEWS: Confirmed By Fabrizio Romano, Manchester Utd Have SACKED Erik Ten Hag He Will Manage The Team For The Last Time In The Cup Final Against City. He Is Leaving Old Trafford No Matter The Outcome. According To Reports, It Is True That Sir Jim Ratcliffe And His INEOS ‘Allies’ Have Decided To Pull The Trigger On Ten Hag After The Showpiece At Wembley. Man Utd Sack Ten Hag.
Manchester United is set to sever ties with manager Erik ten Hag following the FA Cup final, as confirmed by The Guardian. The decisive juncture in Ten Hag’s managerial career is upon him, with a critical matchup against Manchester City at Wembley looming. This encounter is expected to be Ten Hag’s last in charge, regardless of the game’s outcome.
During his tenure, Ten Hag witnessed some of the club’s most challenging times, culminating in Manchester United’s lowest league position since 1990, as they finished eighth in the Premier League. Their Champions League campaign was also disappointing, ending prematurely at the group stage amidst a series of underwhelming performances. High expectations were set for new signings, including the €95 million acquisition of winger Antony, but these expectations were largely unmet.
Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio initially reported that the decision to dismiss Ten Hag had been made prior to the FA Cup final, and this information was later corroborated by another reliable source.
According to reports, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his associates at INEOS have made a firm decision to terminate Ten Hag’s contract after the Wembley match. This follows a thorough review of Ten Hag’s management and interpersonal dynamics within the team by new technical director, Jason Wilcox. The review did not yield favorable results, despite a late-season improvement that included victories over Newcastle and Brighton.
The FA Cup final presents Manchester United with its last chance to secure a spot in European competition via the Europa League for the upcoming season. However, even a victory over Manchester City would not alter the decision regarding Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford. Among the potential replacements being considered are notable figures like Thomas Tuchel, Kieran McKenna, Mauricio Pochettino, Graham Potter, and Thomas Frank.
