Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag will know his fate. After the FA Cup Final on Saturday 25 May, amid rumors he could be released.
Ten Hak was unfazed. Before the important match against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium, he revealed the existence of a plan for the team for next season with the co-owner of the capitalist group “Ineos”.
But the British newspaper “Daily Mail” learned that United are preparing to change the position of team manager. There was a discussion with Thomas Tuchel and Ipswich Town's agent manager Kieran McKenna.
Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Frank are also under consideration, but Pochettino is not yet comfortable negotiating with the Red Devils until a compensation agreement is reached with Chelsea.
Ten Hag faces the same situation as Louis van Gaal, who was sacked after the FA Cup final victory over Crystal Palace in 2016, as sources close to Manchester United said that no decisive decision had been made regarding Ten Hag’s future until the end of tonight’s match ( May 25), while players do not seem surprised by news reports that the Chiefs will be fired after two years of service, regardless of the results.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe refused to go into detail about his confidence in Ten Hag, while the former Ajax coach said he plans to meet Ineos after the final: “No, we have already spoken. This Sunday I will rest on holiday. It does not require any convincing. We will continue next season.”
“Of course we continue to work together, Ineos has been part of this club since January. They want us to become champions,” concluded Ten Hag.
