Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag addressed the media Thursday with a bold message: he doesn’t need assurances about his future, even after a rocky season. The Red Devils slumped to their worst-ever Premier League finish (8th place) this year, a stark contrast to last season’s third-place triumph. But with an FA Cup final against rivals Manchester City looming on Saturday, Ten Hag is all about looking forward.
\"We’ll go for next season,\" he said, brushing off speculation about his job security. \"If we win [the FA Cup], we’ll be in Europe and have another trophy. That changes everything.\"
Ten Hag, who took charge in 2022, confirmed he’s already discussed plans with minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The Dutchman’s confidence mirrors the team’s motto: \u201cKeep fighting.\" Can United pull off an underdog victory against City? Saturday’s clash will decide if their season ends with silverware—or more questions.
