Manchester City is set to win the FA Cup match against Manchester United this weekend, but that may not be enough to save Erik ten Hag from being sacked as manager. A recent report suggests that United will part ways with him regardless of the outcome, raising questions about the timing of the move.
Ten Hag has been in charge at United since 2019 and has had a mixed record. While he led them to victory in the League Cup last season and a third-place finish in the Premier League, they struggled this season and finished eighth with a negative goal differential. But despite their struggles, there are discussions about potential replacements for Ten Hag, including Thomas Tuchel and talks being held with Mauricio Pochettino and Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna.
If Ten Hag leaves United, it will be their fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. The decision brings uncertainty not only to the team dynamics but also fan sentiment, especially given their poor performance this season. With so many experienced managers available on the market, including Tuchel and Pochettino, United will have to make a strategic decision to ensure a successful transition to a new era of leadership.
