The English media have reported that Erik ten Hag will be fired from Manchester United very soon. According to portals in England, the decision for the Dutch technician has already been made, and it is expected to become official after the FA Cup final against Manchester City. The prestigious "The Guardian" announced that the technician will leave Old Trafford, despite the result in the FA Cup against Manchester City.
At the moment, the club has not yet officially reacted to the news. According to inside sources, United's staff want to focus on the clash with Manchester City, which is the only chance to improve a very negative season.
In case of a defeat against Manchester City, United will not play in European competitions next season. The only other time this has happened was in the 1981-82 season. The "Red Devils" finished the Premier League in 8th place this season, the worst result in the club's history since 1982. These are some of the reasons why the United board has seen fit to install a new coach in head of the bench at Old Trafford.
But who are the coaches who can replace Erik ten Hag next season? The names mentioned this week have been numerous, including: Thomas Tuchel, Gareth Southgate, Mauricio Pochettino and Kieran McKenna. Meanwhile, only last week Erik ten Hag said that he is preparing for the next season.
Apparently, the Dutchman will not have this opportunity, as the leaders of United have already made the decision. On social networks, many fans of the club have expressed their displeasure with the reports of Ten Hag's dismissal, stating that such news cannot come out of the club before an important final against Manchester City.
