But they will most likely keep Erik Ten Hag despite his poor performance this season. For the first season, it was a good thing that he could show because he was able to bring Manchester United to a top-flight finish, but this season he is in the middle of the table, and actually compared to Chelsea, both of them should have fired their coaches, even Erik Ten. Hag led Manchester United to win the FA Cup.
However, each team's management decisions are different, some make the decision to fire and some don't. This is completely their decision, because maybe on the other hand Manchester United wants to give Erik Ten Hag more opportunities. It's just whether Erik Ten Hag will answer with a good performance or not.
Ten hag has not performed well enough and has aswell not even showed signs of wanting to improve his performance any soon as well with the way he's going with his team so far, some times I even think it's best for the team to look into letting go of him so they will be able to get another coach who can help them build back the team to their optimum performance as they should be because the results they got this season isn't befitting to the team.
For Chelsea it's even different for me because I feel they are even in a better position as they had a coach who has been able to get them through to the point of finishing fairly on the table as compared to what Manchester united performance was like at the very beginning of the season which they didn't get to get to even keep of well enough, using the FA cup trophy as a cover up for why they should be considered to have had a successful season is another funny aspect of the whole situation because winning the FA cup isn't good enough reason why you shouldn't have finished decently in the premier league.
Firing a coach is usually dependent on the decision of the management of the team and it usually has to do with the performance and productivity of the team and that's why stable teams still have their coaches in place without having them sacked just yet as some others have done this season, this can be seen with Manchester city and Arsenal who's performance this season were quite impressive and productive.
