Rio Ferdinand believes that Erik ten Hag will be fired by Manchester United even if they win the FA Cup.
Man Utd created a series of worst statistics of the Premier League era despite beating Brighton 2-0 in the closing round of the 2023/24 season on the evening of May 19. Accordingly, the Red Devils ranked 8th overall, behind Newcastle United.
Ending the season in 8th place is something that has never happened to the Old Trafford team in the Premier League era. The Red Devils’ worst performance was 7th in the 2013/14 season.
Man Utd lost 14 matches in a Premier League season for the first time. They conceded 58 goals in 38 matches in the Premier League alone. At the end of the season, they had a negative goal difference (-1).
Currently, Man Utd only has the FA Cup to save face. But in front of them is the Man City mountain.
Former famous player Ferdinand commented: “The more I think about it, win or lose, I don’t think Ten Hag will continue to lead Man Utd next season.
I’m not saying it’s what I want, I’m just saying what I believe will happen and I believe the club will look for another coach.
I don’t think winning the FA Cup would change anything. I haven’t talked to anyone there, this is just an assumption, this is what I think.”
