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.
With the look of things I think it beyond that the management open up publicly and said Erik Ten Hag got their backing and he is free from the word sack but I don't know maybe they will change their mind towards the result of their next match, when I saw this it shocked me because I wasn't having any hope to see Erik Ten Hag managing Man United this season we the poor performance they had in last season but who knows maybe it will be because of this FA Cup trophy, am beginning to suspect something about Erik Ten Hag in Man Utd because Mourinho deed better than him with a record of winning the League Cup, Europa League and Community Shield and he was address as the worse season but Erik Ten Hag is different with only one trophy.
