MANCHESTER UNITED will sack Erik ten Hag after the FA Cup final – even if they WIN.
The club has already drawn up a four-man shortlist to replace the Dutchman.
Erik ten Hag will be sacked by Manchester United after the FA Cup final
Brentford’s Thomas Frank is also an option
Mauricio Pochettino is one nаme on the club’s shortlist
Tuchel is the biggest candidate
The Red Devils take on Manchester City at Wembley Stadium tomorrow afternoon.
But Ten Hag, 54, seems to have run out of time as he will be axed regardless of the result.
SunSport exclusively revealed that this was the case last month and now the Guardian have told how the Dutchman’s fate is sealed.
He will leave Old Trafford whether or not he wins the final against the cross-city rivals.
Kieran McKenna and Mauricio Pochettino have been touted as potential replacements.
In his brief managing tenure, McKenna has accomplished a significant deal of accomplishment.
After consecutive League One promotions, he guided Ipswich Town to the Premier League.
But Pochettino, who left Chelsea at the end of the season, is a free agent.
The German coach, Thomas Tuchel, is also on the short list. He left Bayern Munich after the team had its first trophy-free season since 2012.
Thomas Frank, the coach at Brentford, is listed as the fourth name.
The Dane has built up a good reputation due to his work at the Bees as he has cemented the team in England’s top flight.
Ten Hag had been linked with a quick return to management at Bayern.
But Vincent Kompany appears to be the top candidate at the Allianz Arena.
In Ten Hag’s first season as manager, the team finished in the top four and won the League Cup.
But this season has been disastrоus, culminating in a Premier League finish that is a historic low.
This was in addition to their finishing last in their group and wimping out of the Champions League.
