Manchester United's 2-1 win over Manchester City to win the FA Cup for the first time in eight years was somewhat unexpected. The reason is simple, in terms of technical and tactical aspects, Manchester United can not play well against their opponents, and in terms of personnel, there is also a clear gap with the "blue moon", but in the face of all sides, Ten Hag finally led Manchester United to lift the trophy for the second consecutive season. However, despite the title, Ten Hag's post-match statements and media reports suggest that the trophy may not be able to retain his managerial position.

"Two wins in two years is not bad, but I won't rest on my laurels. If United don't need me anymore, then I'll go somewhere else and try to win the title. When Ten Hag said this in his post-triumph press conference, the media in the audience noticed that something was wrong. The Dutchman, who had previously made it clear that he would go on holiday after the FA Cup final, once again took the initiative to break the news, which sparked huge attention and discussion, will Manchester United really let go of such a manager who has brought titles to the team for two consecutive seasons?

Leave Ten Hag or let him go? This is perhaps one of Manchester United's boss Sir Ratcliffe's biggest headaches right now. If there is a team to talk about the team's performance, it is not an exaggeration to sack Ten Hag three times, after all, Manchester United have endured a disastrous Premier League season. Some people may say that this is the result of frequent injuries in the team, but these are all part of the football field, no one is made of steel, they will encounter problems of one kind or another, and whether they can respond to and deal with these situations in a timely manner is also one of the important criteria for judging the success of a coach.

Therefore, from this point of view, the Dutchman's answer is not satisfactory, after all, the eighth record in the Premier League is there, which cannot be worse. But it has to be said that no matter how bad the games played in these two seasons are, after all, the Dutchman has won the League Cup and FA Cup for the club in a row, and statistics show that Ten Hag has also become the first Manchester United manager since Alex Ferguson to lead the team to win the title in two consecutive seasons. Although this is not an outstanding achievement in the club's history, it is not easy for United to win the title for two consecutive seasons given the predicament of the post-Ferguson era.

So, will Ten Hag stay or go? The British media are also analysing the matter, with The Athletic reporting that United have been in contact with candidates for a new manager, including Ipswich Town manager McKenna, but they have been insisting that a final decision has not been made on the Dutchman's future. Ratcliffe, sporting director Anthony Braitford and the club's top brass have set out to take an objective look at all aspects of Ten Hag's tenure at Manchester United.

According to the Mirror, although Ten Hag led Manchester United to win the FA Cup this season, former Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel believes he will become Manchester United's next manager. German media have reported that Tuchel will refuse to continue in charge because he wants to go to Manchester United to replace Ten Hag and prove himself again in the Premier League. Despite Ten Hag's FA Cup triumph, the Dutchman's fate seems to be sealed, with him sacked next week if nothing else. And if United announce Ten Hag's resignation, Tuchel is one of the candidates for a new manager, and sources in Munich have revealed that Tuchel believes he has won the job.
