LONDON: Manchester United have kept their season alive by reaching the FA Cup final for a second straight year but their chaotic display against Coventry leaves manager Erik ten Hag under intense pressure.
Is Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag heading for the exit door at Old Trafford?
Victor Torp's"winner" sent scores of United fans scurrying for the exits before they realised the goal had been ruled out for a marginal offside. "I see we can play at very high levels but in the same match we can also go very low," he said."That's not explainable. It has to do with managing the game.Harry Maguire, the only fit central defender at the club, said United showed"great character" to find a way past Coventry, managed by former Red Devils striker Mark Robins.
United are engaged in a wholesale shake-up of their backroom team under new co-owner Jim Ratcliffe, who must make a decision on whether he has seen enough from the former Ajax boss to give him another chance. Ten Hag can point to a punishing list of injuries to his defenders but must take some responsibility for the way several key players including Casemiro, Marcus Rashford and Antony have badly underperformed this season.
"If they'd have gone out ... it would have been a shocking last three or four weeks to the end of the season," he said.
