Manchester United will retain coach Erik ten Hag until after the club’s FA Cup final against Manchester City on May 25.
Following Manchester United’s 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Monday, May 6, there has been widespread speculation about Erik ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford.
The defeat marks United’s fourth loss in the last seven games and has jeopardized the club’s chances of qualifying for European competition next season.
Adding to the pressure is United’s upcoming match against Premier League title contenders Arsenal on Sunday, May 12.
With their hopes for European qualification hanging in the balance, Erik Ten Hag and his team see the FA Cup final against Manchester City as their best opportunity for securing a Europa League spot. Consequently, a recent report by the Daily Mail suggests that United will retain Ten Hag until after the FA Cup final.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United striker Michael Owen has called for the club’s current owners to dismiss coach Erik ten Hag following the embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday, May 6.
Speaking on Premier League Production, Owen expressed his long-held belief that Ten Hag is not the right fit for the job, emphasizing the need for a change.
He remarked, “I’ve been saying for a while now that Ten Hag isn’t the right man for this job. It’s been evident for some time.
“He cannot continue to manage the team next season.
“At some point, a decision needs to be made. They are likely to suffer a heavy defeat against Manchester City [in the FA Cup final], and Arsenal will likely dominate them at Old Trafford.”
