Man Utd’s stance on sacking Erik ten Hag revealed after FA Cup semi-final win
Manchester United are nearing a decision regarding Erik ten Hag’s future following their FA Cup semi-final triumph over Coventry.
Despite clinching victory on penalties after a 3-3 draw in extra time, the manner of their performance raised concerns for Ten Hag. United surged to a 3-0 lead and seemed in command before faltering in the latter stages of the second half.
The resemblance to several of United’s performances this season wasn’t lost, though facing Championship opposition amplified concerns.
Majority owners Avram and Joel Glazer, alongside minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, attended the Wembley match, joined by newly-appointed technical director Jason Wilcox, who is reportedly assessing Ten Hag’s performance.
The Sun’s Neil Custis reports that Manchester United’s leadership is tilting towards parting ways with Ten Hag, regardless of the outcome of the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Ratcliffe’s apparent reluctance to publicly support Ten Hag is viewed as another factor against him. Despite Ten Hag describing their FA Cup final qualification as a significant accomplishment, he acknowledged the need for improvement in his post-match interview with the club’s official website.
He said: “We had total control for so long, and then gave it away in the last part of the game.
“We did show resilience to win the penalty shootout. We had control for 75 minutes and have to give Coventry a compliment for what they did in the last 15 minutes.
“But we have to improve. We talk a lot about this. First, you put yourself in a winning position, but then you have to take it over the line.
“In these moments, we are making mistakes and not keeping our responsibilities. We have to show resilience. When you are so in control, you should win easy.”
