Erik ten Hag bolstered his case to remain as Manchester United manager by leading the team to a surprising 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final. Despite reports suggesting he would be dismissed regardless of the outcome, United’s management might reconsider after this tactical success against City, who were favorites to win another domestic double. Early goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo secured United’s first FA Cup in eight years, despite a late consolation goal from Jeremy Doku. Ten Hag, who described the season as “terrible,” believes injuries hampered their campaign but highlights his two trophies in three finals as evidence of his capability. United finished eighth in the Premier League and exited the Champions League early, prompting speculation about potential replacements. However, Ten Hag’s recent success may alter these plans.
