Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has revealed that Manchester United manager, Erik Ten Hag won’t escape being sacked despite winning the FA Cup.
Recall that the Red Devils defeated Manchester City 2-1 in Saturday’s FA Cup final.
In a chat with Dailymail, Murphy noted that the Dutch tactician will be sacked by Man United.

“The talk will now be of Ten Hag’s future. I’m pleased he has won a second trophy because he’s had to put up with a hell of a lot at Old Trafford.
“At the same time, it is normal for a manager to take criticism at such a big club. One swallow doesn’t make a summer.
“The reality is he has not shown enough in terms of motivational techniques or tactics over a period of time.
“He has failed repeatedly and I don’t think this final will be enough to save him because the United owners cannot base their decision on one match.
“United have been horrendous too many times this season. Fans of rival clubs would love Ten Hag to stay because they don’t see him as the figure to push the team on.
“My view is that after the season United have had, it was imperative for the club to look at viable options.
“I don’t think the hierarchy will feel guilty if Ten Hag is upset. He will be well compensated if he leaves and his job would not be under threat if the team had performed.”

I just wish I can get a way to reply these pundits directly. Just imagine Danny Murphy that was an average player during his playing days talking about tactics. Mugu. Ex English players will always look for how to bring down one that’s not theirs. Over hyped….. Hmmmmm
