The club's board is currently considering Ten Hag over his future after the media earlier spread rumors that the Windmill City manager would certainly be sacked from his position, even though he would eventually lead the team to defeat the Blues in the major tournament. A game at Wembley, for that matter.
So far, Manchester United have not issued a statement on the future of Ten Hag, who has one year remaining on his contract with the club. There is an option to extend the contract for another year. But after he succeeded in leading the team to win the title, Cantona, the former striker of the French national team, expressed his personal opinion that the Red Devils should change the team’s coach.
“I am happy to win the FA Cup,” Cantona said. “He did well in leading the team to victory.”
“But you cannot play 38 counter-attacks and win the league. Despite the availability of players, they are still unable to play beautiful football.”
Teddy Sheringham, another former Red Devils striker, expressed his view to Sky Sports on May 28 in the same way as King Eric, saying: “People in power have to look at the situation. And ask yourself whether this is as good as it gets.” Enough for Manchester United or not.”
“It was a great way to end the season. There's no doubt. They deserve it. And I love the line where he said: 'If Manchester United don't want me, I'll go somewhere else and win things', and that was really cool.”
“But at the same time you also have to look at where they are ranked. I think they have lost 13 league games this season, which is not good enough for Manchester United.”
“They have to be in the top two or top three to have a chance of winning the league. And now it's not even close. You have to look here too.”
“Yes, winning the title is special, but overall Manchester United has to be a team that has a chance of winning the league. They want this and it's not good enough.”
