Manchester United is geared up to determine the fate of Erik ten Hag at the club in the upcoming week, post an evaluation of the season.
Wrapping up the 2023-24 season, the Red Devils clinched an unexpected victory against local rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
In a showdown against the Premier League champions, the spotlight was on United’s youthful talents as Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo sealed the deal in the first half.
Despite a fierce battle in the second half from Pep Guardiola’s squad, Jeremy Doku’s late goal wasn’t enough to deny United their 13th FA Cup title.
Following the jubilant scenes at Wembley, speculation looms regarding Ten Hag’s future. The Athletic reports that Manchester United has a timeline in place to decide on the Dutchman’s future next week through a thorough review of the past season.
The evaluation, to be spearheaded by Man United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS sporting director Sir David Brailsford, in collaboration with Ten Hag, comes after a disappointing Premier League finish of eighth place for the Red Devils.
Despite challenges like injuries impacting their performance, Ten Hag himself labeled the season as subpar despite the FA Cup triumph.
While Ten Hag’s future remains uncertain, Man United is reportedly exploring potential replacements, with Kieran McKenna and Thomas Tuchel being key candidates in the mix.
