‘I think they have common sense’ - Ten Hag tells board, sacking after FA Cup like Van Gaal isn't logical

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has stated that the board will need to use their ‘common sense’ before sacking him.

The Red Devils have struggled with their performance this season and currently sit eighth on the Premier League table.

The teams' performance this season has led to fans calling for the sacking of the manager at the end of the season.

Ten Hag on sacking

Erik Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, says he is not worried about the possibility of losing his job at the end of the year.

Ahead of Manchester United's clash with Arsenal on Sunday, Erik Ten Hag was questioned about getting sacked after the FA Cup.

Ten Hag asserts that the owners "see the reasons" for his team's success this season, even if the club fired Louis van Gaal in 2016 following his FA Cup victory.

According to reports from BBC, Ten Hag said, "I think they have common sense. They can see when you have 32 different backlines, when you lose eight centre-backs when they see us use 13 different partnerships at centre-half, when we don't have a left-back, when we have so many injuries - that will have a negative impact on results.

"I don't care if they do or they don't, I'm working on improving and developing my team, that is my job here.”

Despite being "not happy" with the season's performance, Ten Hag acknowledged that he had to be "realistic" in light of his team's injury situation.

United lost 4-0 to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday and will face Arsenal on Sunday at Old Trafford.

On May 25, Manchester City and United square off in the FA Cup final at Wembley, where a win over their rivals would allow the team to save their season.
