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.
Some people have started to say Manchester United couldn't get good results because some players Ten Hag needed didn't join this team and they couldn't hire these players for their coach and that's why Ten Hag is not guilty of the results they got however I think this is not right at all.
Cristian Romero was one of the players and Ten Hg wanted to hire Cristian Romero from Totenham but they couldn't do that because Totenham said they would not accept any offer for their player, Cristian Romero.
Ever since Erik Ten Hag became Manchester United's head coach, he has been using that as an excuse for his poor performance at Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag was very active in the transfer window, and he signed several players, but I am surprised he keeps saying that the Manchester United squad is not ready for the new Premier League season that just started. Erik Ten Hag thinks the Premier League is the Eredivisie League, where he can use the same set of players he used in Ajax to dominate the Premier League. It will be difficult for Erik Ten Hag to succeed at Manchester United even if he signs all the players he wants because he always ends up signing players who will not play competitively at Manchester United.
