Manchester United players embarrassed themselves once again this season and found a way to deeply disappoint their fans. Despite the increasing injury woes, with Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes absent, it’s hard to imagine that many expected a humiliation like the one suffered in the away match against Crystal Palace (0-4). There were many wrong things in the Red Devils’ game, and although such things repeated over and over, Erik ten Hag managed to retain his position on the bench.Former players blast United: ‘They don’t have a clue’Former Manchester United stars Paul Scholes and Michael Owen called for the Dutchman to resign immediately in the minutes after the match, but that won’t happen! Moreover, he seems safe until the end of the season, or at least until the FA Cup final scheduled for May 25th at Wembley. Manchester United’s management has assessed that Ten Hag’s dismissal now wouldn’t have much impact, as there are still three matches left in the league, along with the aforementioned final against City. Such a decision from United’s top brass leaves a partial belief that the former Ajax coach could not only survive the end of this season but also potentially start the next one in the Devil’s dugout! However, unofficial assurances suggest that the decision on Ten Hag will be made after the FA Cup final.Zidane said ‘NO’, Ten Hag is next in line for BayernWhile more and more believe that the Dutchman has long exceeded his time at Old Trafford, some members of the dressing room believe that his fate is sealed. United’s remaining Premier League fixtures include away trips to Arsenal and Brighton, with Newcastle visiting in the meantime. The team is currently in contention with Chelsea and Newcastle for places leading to European football next season. There’s also the possibility of United qualifying for the Europa League if they win the FA Cup, where they are far from favorites against their city rivals. As a reminder, Paul Scholes said that the defeat to Crystal Palace was “the final nail in the coffin” and that Ten Hag is deep into injury time at Old Trafford. The Dutch coach recently had a conversation with the club’s top brass and told them that another significant spending in the transfer market is needed for United to be competitive for the title and achieve more. At the same time, he’s also been linked with Bayern Munich as a successor to Thomas Tuchel. In case you think it’s a joke, respectable German journalists have reported about those contacts.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUESemifinals – second legTuesday22:00: (1.48) PSG (4.40) Dortmund (6.75) /first leg 0-1/Wednesday22:00: (1.95) Real Madrid (3.50) Bayern (3.90) /first leg 2-2/***odds are subject to change***
