It was already being suggested that Ten Hag is on borrowed time, with a managerial change being lined up for the summer, but that process could be accelerated as United’s collection of so-called stars face accusations of downing tools.
WHAT O'HARA SAID
Former Premier League star Jamie O’Hara believes the time has come for change, with the ex-Tottenham and Wolves midfielder suggesting that an SOS call needs to be sounded to a former boss with a track record of delivering major honours. He has told , with United preparing to face arch-rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25: “I think they should get on the phone to Mourinho. Give it to Mourinho for a couple of weeks. Why not? A chance to win a trophy… they ain't winning it with Ten Hag, forget about that. They're done.”
Getty DID YOU KNOW?
Ten Hag told when asked about his position on the back of a forgettable evening at Selhurst Park: “I don't think about this. I have to prepare the team, we have huge problems so if I worry about my future… it's not about me, it's about the team and the club. You see the fans are backing us so they deserve a team that has energy.”
