How Liverpool RUINED Ten Hag and Manchester United | OneFootball

“If they don’t want me anymore then I will go somewhere else to win trophies, because that is what I have done my whole career," said Erik Ten Hag after winning the FA Cup with Manchester United back in May.

Well now he will get that chance, because this morning he was sacked by Manchester United.

The sacking came as no real surprise. Manchester United sit 14th in the Premier League. Only Crystal Palace and Southampton have scored fewer goals than them this season. They lost in the last minute again yesterday to West Ham. The wheels have come off.

And yet the decision was made last summer to keep Ten Hag in his post as a direct consequence of Manchester United winning the FA Cup - a trophy diminished in stature and increasingly lacking relevance. It figures.

That FA Cup run last season involved a 4-3 victory over Liverpool in the quarter-final that Old Trafford celebrated like they had just won the league.
