Manchester United adamant no decision has been made on Erik ten Hag’s future | OneFootball

There is no smoke without fire but Manchester United continue to insist that isn’t the case.

Just hours after it sensationally broke that Erik ten Hag will be sacked regardless of the FA Cup final, a contrasting matter has emerged.

Simon Stone of the BBC reports that his United sources insist no decision has been made by the club regarding the manager.

In fact, there has been zero contact between the club and Ten Hag or his representatives regarding his future.

Everyone at the club is squarely focused on the FA Cup final at hand and any decision made will be finalised after the season ends and a review is done.

United play the biggest game of their season tomorrow against Manchester City with the added pressure of having European qualification hinging on it.

The club had their lowest-ever Premier League finish this season as they stumbled to eighth and missed out on Europe altogether.

The timing of the report of Ten Hag’s sacking was hardly ideal as United prepare for such a big game.

However, a recent report relayed by The Peoples Person claimed that the decision had already been made in the week before the Arsenal game.

Therefore, the reported leak of him getting sacked left a sour taste in the mouth of many due to the timing of the announcement.

While it might be true still that Ten Hag’s fate has already been sealed, this could be United’s attempt at controlling the narrative.

Keeping their eyes on the prize and blocking out external noise over off-the-pitch matters is the way it should be when they face their city rivals.

Any decision made can be publicly communicated later and it seems that that’s what United are aiming to do for now to control the firestorm that has ensued.
