'Erik ten Hag's future depends on how SEASON FINISHES! We need him to WIN FA CUP!' | Rio Ferdinand

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand says Erik ten Hag's future with the club "depends" on how the season finishes.
Following a disappointing season and nearly an embarrassing exit to Championship side Coventry in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday, speculation over the 54-year-old's tenure as manager has been prevalent as new minority stakeholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are rumoured to be looking at options to replace the Dutchman.
With five Premier League fixtures remaining, The Red Devils are sixth in the table and are unlikely to finish any higher, but are being chased by Newcastle United, West Ham United and Chelsea below.
United still have the opportunity to finish the season on a high when they face local rivals Manchester City in a repeat of last year's FA Cup final (which City won 2-1) at Wembley on 25th May.
Ferdinand suggests winning the cup could be the only way ten Hag remains as boss, which would be his second trophy since joining the club in the summer of 2022, and would also guarantee a spot in next season's UEFA Europa League.
Ferdinand was speaking at an event hosted by "revolutionary social media platform" WeAre8.
Together they launched Blow The Whistle on Wednesday in London - a campaign to "raise awareness about the continued prevalence of racial abuse in football and its profound impact on players, fans, communities, and the sport as a whole, from the England team to local grassroots clubs. It will empower the world to stand together in a safe social home and say no to racism."
"With WeAre8’s unique application of validated identity and recognition / AI infrastructure, players, fans and families now have a safe social alternative where anonymous accounts are not accepted and directed hate isn’t tolerated. With the tech framework in place, players and fans can feel free to express their biggest selves without fear of negativity and abuse. "
"And through WeAre8’s centralised wallet, people can pay their earnings from watching ads forward to communities they care about. This campaign is backing Common Goal’s ‘Anti-Racist Project’ - which supports training, community competitions and advocacy projects aimed at combating racism in football."

Just lower your expectations. Let the club build the squad. Rebuild with patience.

[@kaisersolo76]

This was known last year and even the year before, expect some people think weve just come from the fergie years which were 13 + years ago. we are way off.

[@stephenbadman697]

No it doesn’t. Regardless of what happens he’ll be here next year. He’s building from the academy for long term success. Doing a fantastic job. BACK THE MANAGER

[@bradrobinson6053]

Rio out! Ten Hag in!

[@sighfly2928]

You mean Glazer’s out right?

[@bradrobinson6053]

@@sighfly2928 no I mean Erik Ten Hag has time and time again proved that he can do it,, if this team was given to Ole or Mourinho we'd have plummeted,, Erik is keeping us alive and I want him as my manager for now and for future

[@Woze899]

You must be thick😂😂

[@Jamie-uu2cw]

ALL THE WAY OUT!!

[@sunshne-sea]

Tenhach prioritizes teamwork, but players are individualistic. Manchester United, the current team that will not be united even if Sir Ferguson comes back. The players' mentality is the problem. Fans of Manchester United will know that. The leaders who want to replace Tenhach and appoint Tuchel are out of their minds.

[@harrysportello]

Rio also said the Qataris are coming while waiting for them at a train station

[@AquaFasami]

Yeah we need him to just beat the best club of the world 🥴 What a nonsense. You guys want him to cook without ingredients 🤡

[@davidchandra8722]

i thought he already bought 400mil ingredients?

Cry about it then

EtH IN but he's mostly likely not winning the FA Cup against City

[@LoneWolf-sg5qk]

Ten will be here nxt season he needs it with the new A-TEAM in place , Players back and new signings also Our Youth !!! 🔰💨💯

[@Ytube615]

I do have different idea about ten hag future is not depend on the FA CUP win b/se his CV Speaks out and his performance against top 4 clubs rather clearing about 6 to 7 players from old Trafford must be priority number one

[@21DMN]

Who makes this interview?

[@TheB920]

These ex Manchester United players are part of the problem. They are always all over talking about the Manager this Manager that but they know it's players that are sabotaging Erik ten Hag. Just like they sabotaged Ralf Rangnick, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer and Jose Mourinho. They protect the British lads the likes of Rashford, Maguire, Johnny Evans etc but will attack people like Bruno Fernandes, Dalot etc. Manchester United under INEOS need to clear most of these players. ❌️Rashford ❌️Maguire ❌️Varane ❌️Casemiro ❌️Evans ❌️Shaw ❌️Martial Replace them. Let's not start the next season with them!

[@Jamie-uu2cw]

Exactly!!

[@sighfly2928]

Great point. I also did a little digging into United’s wage structure and it was all started by Ed Woodward putting 18 y/o Martial on 200k a week. That set the bar/president for high wages, especially among younger players. If you look at Rashford’s ROI based just on his goals/assists to salary ratio, he costs the club something like 650k per goal and 1.1mil per assist over this season. Martial’s is even worse, as you would imagine. Until United start paying players appropriately based solely on performance and nothing to do with the commercial side of things, there will forever be dressing room tension and a lack of squad cohesion. United have one of the worst goal/assist ROI to salary ratio of any major European team.

[@BeanymanSports]

Most of these players you listed will be leaving anyway. The ex players can't avoid constantly being asked about Man Utd, I thought Rio was very respectful. I don't know why some people always make it about "British players.

[@ElliotHazyday-ki2up]

If Rashford is still at our club after Ten Hag that would be a big issue

[@TheB920]

@@BeanymanSports first since you're here in my comment I'd like to let you know that your channel is my favorite KZbin channel. I use it every day and there's no Manchester United match I watch before I watch the press conference of both Managers kn tour channel. Same goes for post match conferences. I like your quality and simplicity. Now on the players we don't know most of them are leaving until they do. Some thought Mourinho would clear the dead wood but these players survived Manager after Manager. Some have come in recently and have contracts so without buyers we'll be stuck with them unless the club pays a lot of money to terminate their contracts which is difficult. On English players it's because of the bias. They are favored in Manchester United. Maguire, Shaw and Rashford wouldn't last as long as they have in Arsenal. Or City. Look at how Phil Jones managed to stay for so long without playing. The poor performance of English players is downplayed as foreign players are targeted. By the club hierarchy, by the media and by pundits and some supporters.

[@PepsiColaRhapsody]

Winning FA Cup still won't guarantee he wont be sacked.

[@Scottuz]

Nice one Beany Bro👍🏽 bit of Rio, is always OK

[@heartsineurope]

That was deep from, Rio today

[@vhash4916]

Rio was not this vocal when his mate Ole was at the wheel, had enough of these ex players just adding pressure on ETH.

[@ElliotHazyday-ki2up]

I disagree and surely Rio knows better than to think the new ownership will hinge a decision on one game.

[@MiLi-nk4cq]

A think Rio and the others need to chill, he was the one who mentioned Arteta to United, Just chill Rio

[@menelaos7664]

Like for the Oranssi Pazuzu copy behind Rio's talk

[@WayofWyrd]

Top one Beany’ and, Rio who in my eyes (probably cause I’m older than him) has enough about him to be accepted maybe even listened to by people of all ages?? Though I’m not sure!!! One thing I am sure about is that he was the only creole in the room and that’s the problem that’s the first one that needs to be fixed, imho h for humble and honest!!!! Big up Rio 100%Respect bro✊🏼for that is what we all are brothers and sisters just need to get rid of the fear, negativity and the hate, Y does it even exist anymore!!! It’s just beyond me anyway I know that I can hold my head up and say I am doing my best ✌🏼❤️😀&✊🏼 4:59

[@craighughes3495]

Hopefully this season was just things getting worse before they get better, it’s becoming clearer which players the team should be built around and which need to be moved on. I back the big, tough decisions eth has had to make. Obviously toxic players have been shipped off now it’s a matter of weeding out players who are good but don’t bleed Manchester red. The manager should remain, though if we’re nowhere near at Christmas he won’t have much support

[@KrackVibez]

Rio growing old

[@danhan835]

So is everyone else

[@dilvashi7759]

Rio talking about Ten Hag's job as if he's a decision maker lol.

[@whoops9563]

Did you say your best mate Ole had win the Fa Cup final to stay? Rio out. Ten Hag in. Only stupid people dont see what Ten Hag has done for us so far. Look at the foundations, the roots, the youth he has brought through. How he has us 6th and in the final with 70+ separate injuries is a miracle. People seem to forget tbis man took over a sinking ship.

[@danhan835]

Eth should go were 6th a million miles off a title. He's had 2 years and took us backwards.. his style of football bores us to tears.

[@danhan835]

We'll get spanked in final, city beat us comfortably last season were nowhere near there level, unless half there team aint up for it we have no chance. Eth has wasted over 400m on trash signings

[@danhan835]

What foundations has he laid out. Mainoo who looks decent but overrated and looks over played and tired for the past 4/5 games. And garnacho whos been decent but not spectacular. His signings have all been flops so far, not 1 has justified the transfer fee

[@hlomlashai4794]

@@danhan835 did yourl really expect a possession playing manager to come in and make players who were bought for a counter attacking football suddenly playing like ajax, the teams you guys are praising now had good boards that got the manager the players they wanted and also got rid of the players they dont want ,not to mention it 4-5 seasons for those teams to start competing for titles including liverpool for instance finishing 8th at some point, arsenal also were very bad but you expect ten hag to play good football with these players and the board he had who cant sell players because they are either on huge wages or they are listed as assets to the debt. if as a fan you cant see that id suggest you go support another team, and i have not said anything about the injuries, the awful medical team but I NEED YOU TO TELL ME ABOUT 1 MANAGER THAT WENT TO A TEAM AND INSTANTLY WON AND PLAYED GOOD FOOTBALL IN HIS FIRAT 2 SEASONS WITH 60 PLUS INJURIES

[@hlomlashai4794]

@@danhan835 your favourite manager Ole bought maguire for R80m, sancho for 75, wan bissaka for R50m, donny for 35, spent 17m on a diallo who was an academy player telles for 15 and most of them are flops or gone without spending more then 2 seasons🤣 sure lets blame ten hag, and not the shit ceo and director of football we had and disgusting owners . last season ten hag gave them a list of players he wanted especially defenders, instead got a 38 year old evans wanted maguire gone but is still stuck and forced to play him. and we all know that the core style of ten hag if you are football lover is building from the back can maguire do that no evans def so dont just critice the manager and leave the board and the shit players we have that we cant get rid off because no one wants them

[@sunshne-sea]

Manchester United is not a matter of Tenhach, but the selfishness of the players.

[@directorme6669]

Seriously? 😂😂 Yeah, a manager's possiblity of being here next season is dependant on one match against the best team in the world at the moment and over the last couple of years. Why not just sack him already because Man united winning that match will take a miracle!!!!

Ten Hag and Utd are not going to beat City in the FA Cup - let's have some reality, it is likely to be be an absolute battering. Prediction: City win 6 - 1.

[@pokeballdkdenmark8464]

Rio is delusional like the rest of the "old glory days players". They forget Ten Hag inherited the worst United squad in the history of the Premiere League. Of course it takes more than 2 years to build a new team. So Ten Hag needs more time and not least less than around 65 injuries in a season to progress and compete at the top.

[@globalcitizen49]

United needs to stop microwave mentality...there is need for acceptance to rebuild, next season should be the benchmark of the IN or OUT!
