Rio Ferdinand predicts Manchester United sack for Erik Ten Hag
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has cast doubt on manager Erik ten Hag’s future at the club, suggesting that even if he secures an unexpected FA Cup victory, he may still be dismissed.
Despite Manchester United ending their Premier League season with a 2-0 win against Brighton, Ten Hag has faced significant pressure throughout a challenging campaign.
With 19 losses across all competitions and an eighth-place finish, Ten Hag’s tenure has been marked by disappointment.
Additionally, the club faces the prospect of missing out on European football for the first time since 2015 unless they defeat Manchester City in the upcoming FA Cup final.
Ferdinand expressed skepticism about Ten Hag’s prospects, predicting that the club’s co-owners, Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS, will likely review and potentially terminate his position following the FA Cup final.
“Win or lose, I don’t think Ten Hag will be there next season,” Ferdinand stated on his FIVE YouTube channel. “I believe the club will look elsewhere. I don’t think winning the FA Cup changes anything in the eyes of INEOS. This is just my assumption; I haven’t spoken to anyone there.”
