Absolutely disgraceful how the club have leaked to the press that they’ll fire him right b4 a major final, it’s almost like they want him to fail to give them cause. I love Man U but the way they’ve gone about this is so unprofessional, Jim Ratcliffe should have done better. Also, English media is just pathetic.

[@chrisclassical7]

chelsea leaked it

[@skyshooter4009]

​@@chrisclassical7Lol Are you this clueless? Man United board leaked because they were scared of losing some of the best managers to Chelsea and the other big clubs looking for managers.

[@S.Stifler]

Absolutely disgraceful how some people like you still defend Erik Ten Hag after all the embarrassment he got United into. Bro blames all on everyone and everything but never takes any responsibility on himself. Imagine putting a smile on your face after losing 4:0 to Palace. I can’t believe you guys defend this bobo.

[@S.Stifler]

Another thing is that you obviously don’t know how journalism works. These dudes need to post news in order to put food on their table. This isn’t fake news. Everyone knows United are in contact with other managers. Erik Ten Hag got himself into this position and should be able to deal with the pressure if he agreed to be a United manager and earn £9 million.

[@scottlinton6577]

Agreed… United as a club are in a state, rotten at the core. ETH is sacked, merry go round continues, opposing fans and the media have won again!

[@syedh0202]

Ten hag is class. We can all see the issues he's faced. Sacking him would be criminal. Shame on ineos

[@Skullz389]

[@isackawala1988]

they don't want man united to win anything.... believe me most people know that if Erik Ten Hag comes back next season with his youngsters he will win a lot. they want an English coach.

[@S.Stifler]

Because he is delusional

[@GrahamWalters]

Exactly this, Sky and the wider media have caused more managers to get the sack than any other reason, and this woman gets on my tits

[@Tai91827]

[@leksmathew7332]

[@Footballobsessed21]

Some media are so disrespectful to Eric...who the manager can thrive under the circumstances he had faced this season..

[@DocRock]

This is such a hit piece. Even the BS B-Roll. Thousands of hours of footage and the throw a slow of ETH walking in the Rain and Mel you have no idea how the players feel. You are injection the story you wanna tell here. This is super shameful, do better

[@totsh2056]

💯 This is the biggest problem with the media today. And not just in sports. Instead of reporting the news, they give opinions and speculations. It's a disgrace. And Sky are top of the bunch.

[@maclarenedwards6511]

I hope Ten Hag continues, next season will definitely be his season to dominate. Dnt forget where united fans were on the appointment 2 years ago, the man has suffered from a injured squad. He definitely needs additional players and another season to establish his presence in the Premier League. We can't keep chopping and changing managers 🥲

[@GuruHomelander]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Keep hoping lol

[@thomasbaxter1371]

Yeh there is an important few days coming up for ten Hag coz he'll be on a beach somewhere, beer in his hand sunning himself. If when he returns he finds he is out of a job at Utd he'll collect his 10million ('thank you very much') and walk straight into another top job in Europe. Utd on the other hand will still be a club going round and round in circles.

[@Milliondollarperson]

He won’t be sacked. He’ll stay until it gets worse next season. Mark my words.

[@vinnythejinny]

Whoever leaked the news or making up the BS stories should be ashamed of themselves. It doesnt matter if ETH is a good or bad coach but to make up such stories before the final is a disgrace and if Ratcliff and his team did it, they should be ashamed. You should show some respect to your manager by not disclosing any such stupid news before the final. If any journalist did it, they should be banned from future news conferences. Send them a message they understand

[@DeenLight1800]

Why are some football fans so emotional this days? What is special about 10hag? To me, he is not doing anything special to deserve to retain MAN U job. I am not a united fan but truth must be told.

Pochetinno? Would be a good coach for Man United.

[@farzadalimoradian6316]

in the case of United, for God's sake, forget about the future of Eric Ten Hag. It is the future of Manchester United that is important. Heritage belongs to Man United as a team, as an entity and those great United's players and managers who created the excellent history of Man United. Now you either want to be the follower of that great legend or you want to be a bystander. If you want to be a follower as a manager or the team, you should be thoroughly an advocate to Manchester United's association aka society. But in case you like to be a bystander, like Tan Heg and his company, then don't bother yourself brother. Long live Man United.

[@United_Wings]

[@sanmateoflights]

Ten Hag is surely gone now that Tuchel, Pochettino, Xavi are available. Surely they would all be better than Ten Hag.

[@balindilloydsamson7858]

Win or lose, if United sack TenHag, what the club is basically saying is next season top 6 is the goal. There's a certain level of thinking in that squad that needs to be carved out before sacking the manager and Im talking about since the JM days. Players literally down tools in matches. Keep the manager get rid of Maguire, Rashford, Casemiros legs are gone, And Shaw needs to go or take on lower wages.

[@harrycollins6884]

hope its just rumours and jounalists putting pressure on utd before the final if we lose this final but it means we keep ten hag i wont even mind if ratcliffe gets rid of ten hag well he can leave
