Ten Hag's second season as the manager of United has been shockingly poor after a decent debut campaign at Old Trafford. As such, the Dutchman's future at the club was never a guarantee, and on the eve of the Red Devils' FA Cup final clash against Manchester City, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/man-utd-s-decision-made-erik-ten-hag-set-sacked-sir-jim-ratcliffe-ineos-irrespective-fa-cup-final-result/bltf93e4db08a1d42bb" target="_blank">news broke out that the former Ajax man would be shown the door regardless of the result at Wembley</a>. The timing of the news has irked fans who have taken shots at the club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

British comedian and Red Devils supporter, @JustinMoorhouse said on X: "Disgusting. Joke of a club. I’m so embarrassed to be a United fan."Another fan @mufc_dan87 said: "Whether you want Ten Hag gone or not, the fact this story breaks a day before the FA Cup final tells you all you need to know about the way United are being run. A cabal of absolute imbeciles."Man Utd superfan, @AdamMcKola said: "INEOS massive w*nkers for this. Day before a cup final. Pr*cks."Another X user @akomeahmessiah said: "24hrs before a crucial game… someone should be asking the leadership questions…. Ten hag is respectful and responsible… put in a resignation before the final..destabilize the dressing room and go…"However, @RiddyMuppertiers felt, INEOS were being wrongly targeted: "Before anyone gets mad at Ineos there is about a 0% chance they leaked this. Steinberg is Chelsea's guy. Good chance he heard it from one of our managerial targets"

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

United suffered from a horrendous second campaign under Ten Hag, as they finished in their lowest-ever position in the Premier League. They also ended their Champions League campaign with a group-stage knockout, coming in last in a group with Galatasaray, Bayern Munich and Copenhagen.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Red Devils will now take on local rivals City in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 25. It is the second time in a row the Old Trafford side have made it to the final, having lost 2-1 to City last year.
