Erik ten Hag has no concerns about his Manchester United future, stating that those deciding his fate have “common sense”.
The Dutchman’s future at the club is uncertain following yet another dismal season for United, and defeat to Arsenal on Sunday would pile on the pressure.
United are currently on course for their worst season in Premier League history. Ten Hag’s side have been plagued by injuries, but there has been no signs of progress this season and the former Ajax manager’s tactical know-how continues to be scrutinised following some appalling results- most recently a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Crystal Palace.
The only saving grace for United this season is the FA Cup final against Manchester City on May 25. However, when Louis Van Gaal won the FA Cup with United back in 2016, it was not enough for him to keep his job and United also finished fifth that season.
When asked if he is worried about his future at the club, Ten Hag said: “”No. I think they [the owners] have common sense.”
“Still we are fighting. It’s huge the FA Cup final. We are happy to be there. It can be a highlight for this season.
“We aren’t happy but we know the reason we are underperforming is because of the injuries. No team will perform when you have so many injuries in key areas.”
Asked if he would prefer the new minority owners to provide clarity that he will still be in charge next season, Ten Hag said: “This question you have to make to the owners, not to me.”
He added: “This is your opinion [that he would prefer a public show of support]. You have to put the question to them.”
