It seems that Erik ten Hag's time as the manager of Manchester United is coming to an end. Despite his claims that the owners have expressed a desire to rebuild with him, reports suggest he will be sacked after the FA Cup final against Manchester City tomorrow.
After a successful first season at the club, where he led them to a third-place finish and EFL Cup victory, Ten Hag has struggled to maintain the same level of success this year. Manchester United's dismal form has resulted in their lowest-ever Premier League finish, and it seems that the hierarchy has already made the decision to move on from Ten Hag.
However, Ten Hag has revealed that the owners have told him directly that they want to change everything and rebuild with him. He acknowledges that this season has been bad and even "crap," but he remains focused on the upcoming FA Cup final.
The manager also pointed out the significant number of injuries that have plagued the team this season, calling it "really crazy." He has had to deal with a constantly changing defense and numerous injuries across all positions on the pitch. For example, one of their new signings, Tyrell Malacia, has not even been able to train with the team due to a long-term injury.
Despite the challenges, Ten Hag remains determined and believes that with a few key signings, Manchester United can once again compete for a top-four spot in the Premier League. He identified the need for an extra striker, another central midfielder, and a replacement for Raphael Varane as crucial for the team's success.
However, it seems unlikely that Ten Hag will still be in the hot-seat at Old Trafford next season. He expressed frustration with the negative criticism from pundits, who he believes are simply looking for an easy target in Manchester United.
Despite the criticism, Ten Hag has remained focused on his job and has blocked out the noise from the media. He believes that the same people who praised him last year are now calling for his dismissal, and he sees this as a clear indication of their lack of ability to analyze the situation objectively.
As Ten Hag prepares for what could be his last game as Manchester United's manager, he remains hopeful that he can end on a high note with a win in the FA Cup final. Only time will tell what the future holds for him and the club, but he remains committed to the team and its success.
