After a clearly shocking season, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag’s future at the team is far from clear. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has now given an update, implying that no decision has been made as of yet.
The Red Devils won the Carabao Cup and qualified for the Champions League after finishing in the top four the previous season. They are currently in ninth place in the Premier League and have not advanced this season, but they still have a chance to win the FA Cup.
It’s fair to conclude that overall, Ten Hag’s United team has fell short, and it wouldn’t be shocking if INEOS chose to make “that” big decision at the end of the season.
Throughout the past few months, the Dutch coach has probably been on trial, so ten Hag may be concerned about losing his job unless there is a significant change in their performance before the season ends.
In reality, should the former Ajax manager lose the FA Cup final to Manchester City and fail to make it into Europe, he shouldn’t be upset about whatever decision is made in regards to his future at the club.
With no titles to display or a strong Premier League finish, INEOS will undoubtedly need to make a big choice.
Although United may not fire ten Hag before the cup final, some players already believe that the time is running out, according to a report from Matt Law of The Telegraph.
Eliminating ten Hag at the conclusion of the season will provide a new manager the opportunity to oversee both the summer transfer window and the entire preseason, which might prove to be quite advantageous.
A report from The Times alleged that United is considering Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel, with ten Hag facing mounting pressure at Old Trafford. The Manchester team’s decision-makers respect the German tactician, and he would also be happy to return to the Premier League.
Even though the former Chelsea manager is still under contract with Bayern, it has been decided that he will leave in the summer. The Bundesliga team is still in the battle to win the Champions League.
