End of the Road for Ten Hag at Old Trafford
Manchester United are poised to dismiss manager Erik ten Hag, irrespective of the team’s result against Manchester City in the upcoming FA Cup final. Despite the potential silverware and a Europa League spot on the line, the Dutchman’s tenure at the club appears to be drawing to a close, with the club’s new hierarchy eager to install their own choice at the helm.
Former Spurs Star Weighs In on United’s Future
Ex-Tottenham Hotspur and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson shared his insights on the situation at Manchester United, predicting that Ten Hag will not be in charge at Old Trafford next season. Speaking on the Inside Track podcast, Robinson emphasized the need for a fresh approach, citing the club’s poor performance this season under Ten Hag’s guidance.
Disappointment Spurs Change
Manchester United’s lackluster season, which saw them finish eighth in the Premier League, has led to speculation about Ten Hag’s impending exit. The club’s regression over the past year, issues with player recruitment, and dressing room dynamics are all factors contributing to the decision for a managerial change.
Pochettino Touted as Top Contender
Robinson has suggested that United should pursue Mauricio Pochettino as their next manager. The Argentine, who recently parted ways with Chelsea, has been described as a “serious and very interesting” candidate for the Red Devils. With United’s long-standing interest in Pochettino, this could be an opportune moment for the club to make their move.
FA Cup Success Unlikely to Save Ten Hag’s Job
Despite the chance of FA Cup glory and European qualification, Robinson is convinced that even such achievements won’t secure Ten Hag’s position. The former goalkeeper sees this as the right time for Manchester United to bring in Pochettino and start a new chapter.
