Maybe Erik Ten Hag's success in presenting the FA Cup title is the reason for management to retain him. I think if that is the reason, it certainly does not match the large investment value that has been disbursed. Of course, anyone would be disappointed if the performance of their favorite team does not experience significant changes. I think it is time for management to give an ultimatum to Ten Hag so that he can improve the team's performance.
Yes, the FA Cup trophy was the reason why Erik Ten Hag was given another opportunity to remain as Manchester United's head coach because Manchester United's management believes Erik Ten Hag would turn things around in Manchester United this season. But from what Erik Ten Hag has shown in the Premier League so far, it seems like Erik Ten Hag would not live up to the expectations of Manchester United management. If Erik Ten Hag fails to deliver a convincing win against Southampton this weekend, his job will be at risk.
I don't really think Manchester United gave Eric Ten Haag the opportunity to continue with the club due to his performance at the F.A cup because for obvious reasons, during when Manchester United was underperforming and the pressure to sack Ten Haag was high but yet the management didn't do anything at all and there was even speculations of his possible sack even before the league ended last season but yet he was still left to continue and believe me had it been that ETH didn't win the F.A cup the club's management would have still left him to continue because they weren't even making any plans of hiring a new coach so it shouldn't sound as though winning the F.A cup was what kept ETH till now. Manchester United's problem has always been related to their coach and I still say it that ETH is not going to deliver Manchester United this season so it's either the club's management start making preparations for another coach or they should bear the aftermath of their decision in keeping ETH. And believe me whether they win their match against Southampton or not they will still leave him to continue.
