I can't believe anyone can disagree that he's underperformed. Are standards really that low?
Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
I agree with your point but Sir Alex was genuinely a world class manager when he took over United
We've just had our worst Premier League and Champions League campaigns in the same season. Finished 8th, most home defeats in a season in the clubs history, most goals conceded in a season since I believe the 70's.
If that isn't underperforming then I don't know what is, injuries explain it to an extent but not completely.
He worked under Rangnick for about a week.
And there'll only be about 5-6 players still at the club that have worked with him before.
Basically, the club hasn't said anything and we know they don't need to tell anyone anything, maybe because there's a cup final on Saturday. So like all football news we have to continue to make stuff up until they do, that's how we operate here at Sky and in all football journalism really. We'll be back to this every hour where we will say the same 5 sentences for 15 minutes again without actually providing any really information at all.
Performing like a bottom half PL side after spending £400m is massively underperforming. There's no real argument against it.
What rumours about his methods? How can he lose a dressing room before he’s even arrived? What does that even mean?
If the decision is made already, Erik is being very dignified about it all, kept his counsel and not thrown anyone under a bus.
As he has been for most of the season.
Some of the man-babies, itk’s, and football geniuses in this thread could learn a lot from Erik.
Let’s get behind everyone tomorrow

No he hasn’t.Honestly I think INEOS have let the FA Cup final outcome determine his fate. They've probably already got one of De Zerbi/Tuchel/McKenna/Poch on ice, and will be ready to pull the trigger in the likelihood we lose tomorrow. If Ten Hag does fluke a win tomorrow then I can see them giving him another year with the new setup.
I don’t think you can lose 19 games in a single season as the Manchester United manager and then have your job hinge on whether or not you lose 20. He’s gone.
I find it mental that people genuinely believe they'd let a cup game decide the near future fate of their investment.
I genuinely still cannot believe we finished LAST in a group with Copenhagen, Galatasaray and the worst Bayern side in 15 years. Last? Couldn't even scrape 3rd? Totally unacceptable. Ratcliffe is a far better man than me because I would have fired him on the spot after that final game.
He won't.
I can see your reasoning but I think they’ve made up their mind already.
It's been a really difficult 24 hours for ten hag inners. Just turn the other cheek and rise above it.
It’s mental to think that in a one off cup game final where anything can happen you’d be like “yeah, this guy has earned another 50 games after that scrappy deflected goal and parking the bus for a good 60 minutes. This is exactly the type of thing we can build upon”
He didn’t have any control then.
I think others have already responded to this so nothing more to add.
I will say it is genuinely baffling for a Utd fan to say he hasn't underperformed. The injuries excuse can only go so far.
Well, that's it then.
I wanted him gone but why on earth would you wait until a day before the fa cup final to announce it
They’ve been tweeting about it all week but with the a get out of (if ten hag leaves) at the end. It’s obvious they’ve known for ages
Who’s announced it?
Just before the final, how weird.
It's over
As I said it's been decided from some time ago.
Game over.

Game over.
Reckon McKenna is next in and Chelsea/Brighton making moves for him has forced our hand
Well at least it’s not a distraction anymore. People seem to have wanted some decision
Get behind him and the team tomorrow.
Anything else that happens after is irrelevant. Tomorrow is everything

No happiness. No relief. I liked him a lot and wanted him to succeed. But ultimately 8th and the CL campaign was too dire to defend
Was always going to happen. It is sad that things did not work out with Ten Hag, he looked so promising, and I feel sorry for him. Let us hope for a last high note in his tenure.
Well that's what everyone has assumed and said, but United shouldn't allow a story like that to stand unopposed today. Whoever has fed that to Steinberg should be binned off even before Ten Hag.
2016 all over again but likely without the cup win ffs.
Surely they'd gave been better saying something after the match on Sunday

It’s no surprise, can’t blame anyone but himself really.
It says a well placed source at the club confirmed it. Could be Ten Hag himself. Shall they sack him twice?
Good riddance. Horrendous manager.
Yeah same. Really thought we'd found our man last season.
Mixed feelings for me, really wanted him to succeed.
Wanted it to work but this season has been a disaster and truth be told the football for the last 18 months has been terrible even when we get the result.
Hope the club has actually informed him if not this is poor.
