Manchester United 'make Erik ten Hag sack decision' after Crystal Palace defeat

Manchester United have decided that Erik ten Hag will not be sacked before the FA Cup Final

The club are guaranteed to endure one of their worst seasons in Premier League history under the guidance of the beleaguered manager.

Monday evening’s 4-0 humbling at the hands of Crystal Palace confirming they will not better their worst ever points tally, which stands at the 58 accured in the 2021-22 season.

The loss at Selhurst Park was also a 13th league defeat of the season, which is a record.

United remain in the hunt for European football and a finish lower than seventh would be a record worst league standing at the end of a Premier League campaign.

But, according to the Telegraph, Ten Hag will be allowed to at least see out the rest of the season, which culminates with the FA Cup final against Manchester City on May 25.

The report adds that many of the first-team squad expect Ten Hag to be sacked and replaced this summer, with the decision already made despite what happens in the FA Cup final.

United have three games remaining in their league campaign before the trip to Wembley Stadium, starting at home to Arsenal and Newcastle United before a final day trip to face Brighton.

Asked on Monday if he believes he is still the right person to lead United, Ten Hag said: “Absolutely. If the right players are there, so available, then we have a good squad. But we miss almost the full back line, then we have problems..”
