Manchester United will not sack Erik ten Hag before this month’s FA Cup final despite Monday night’s humiliating defeat at Crystal Palace ramping up the pressure on the manager.
The 4-0 defeat leaves United scrambling to qualify for Europe next season and led to former players – including Michael Owen and Paul Scholes – calling for him to be axed immediately.
But Mail Sport understands there are no plans to fire Ten Hag before United take on Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley on May 25.
The belief is that nothing will be gained by removing Ten Hag with four games – three Premier League and the FA Cup final – still to be played before the end of the campaign.
Although this may offer Ten Hag belief he can continue for a third season in charge if United beat City at Wembley, the final decision will be taken after that match.
