Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag’s position is under serious threat after a shocking performance against Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-finals. United appeared to be comfortably leading 3-0 thanks to goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire, and a penalty. However, the lead evaporated within 20 minutes, with Ellis Simms, Callum O’Hare, and Haji Wright scoring to level the match and force extra time.
During the extra 30 minutes, United were fortunate to avoid defeat as Simms struck the crossbar and Wright missed a clear-cut opportunity. Victor Torp appeared to have won the match with the final chance of extra time, but his goal was ruled out by VAR due to a marginal offside. United ultimately won on penalties, but the consensus among fans and pundits is that Ten Hag’s days are numbered.
Ten Hag did not appear impressed in the director’s box as his team struggled in extra time. Many believe that the Dutchman may not be able to recover his reputation. It is worth noting that Ten Hag was reportedly under scrutiny earlier this year, with rumors of dissatisfaction from the club’s owners. This recent performance has done little to alleviate those concerns.
