Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag finds himself under intense scrutiny despite guiding the team to the FA Cup final. Former football stars Alan Shearer and Graeme Souness have expressed skepticism about his long-term prospects at Old Trafford.
Shearer believes that Ten Hag’s tenure will end regardless of the outcome of the FA Cup final. He stated that the club’s current struggles, including their position in the Premier League, raise doubts about Ten Hag’s ability to lead United forward. Souness shares a similar view, asserting that the club’s decision to part ways with the Dutchman was likely made before their victory over Coventry City.
Souness argues that Ten Hag has failed to maximize the potential of his squad, citing the decline in Marcus Rashford’s form as an example. He believes that the club has made up its mind about Ten Hag and that his departure is inevitable.
Ten Hag’s contract has just over a year remaining, and rumors have surfaced linking former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel to the United post. The uncertainty surrounding Ten Hag’s future casts a shadow over United’s imminent FA Cup final appearance.
