I'm not going to answer this myself, but I dread watching this team play. To quote Mourinho "if I say something I'm in trouble".
Would you rather win the FA cup and keep Ten Hag or lose, sack Ten Hag?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Why create a pointless scenario? Van Gaal did better than him in the league and won the FA cup. He still got sacked.
Win the FA Cup and sack Ten Hag over the speakers in the stadium while he's walking up to lift the trophy.

win and keep ten hag obviously. he can be sacked in september if we're still crap
Whether we keep or sack ten Hag won’t depend on the outcome of a single game but rather his body of work over the entirety of the season.
Remove thread, temp ban user
Win first worry about Ten Hag later
I’d rather win the FA cup. Ten Hag won’t survive past October anyway.
Win and keep a failing manager or lose and appoint a failing manager to be.
Yeah I don't think it matters. The FA Cup is a nice trophy to win if we're having a decent season but it doesn't gloss over another terrible league campaign. Van Gaal also deserved to be sacked at the time
Obviously a win a cup. Shite thread.
Gotcha, sent a PM to Solius that says "remove threads and ban all users".
Win the FA Cup & sack EtH.
Win and keep.
That might have unintended consequences
Of course Win and keep, then sack if results and performances don’t improve
Which means we don't qualify for Europe again next season.
Win the thing obviously.
A thread reflective of the internet age we live in - where only the most polarising possibilities matter because they bring out the best reactions.
I love these hypothetical questions, would you be willing to accept a bad short term outcome in order to achieve a greater long term outcome? This isn't what we're facing, mates. The decision to sack or not sack ten Hag has very likely already been made and for obvious reasons hasn't been announced yet.
Stupid question . The answer should always be cup win . Anyone who thinks otherwise is also Stupid.
Reason is simple. Its one of the prestigious trophy and it's been a while since we did it. The incoming new manager doesn't guarantee us anything which means we are potentially losing a trophy for something uncertain. If current manager stays and he continues to do bad, he would be sacked anyway.

Would definitely improve the place
Win the FA Cup of course. It's not the end of the world if Ten Hag stays another year given the whole delays with Ashworth and everyone else being brand new. It's not ideal, but it is what it is. Just gotta be patient on that side. Any trophy, especially a cup final vs City, is big.
The fact that we've failed to qualify for the Champions League renders this season a resounding failure, regardless of whether or not we win the F.A. Cup, so winning the F.A. Cup doesn't really do anything for me.
That being said, everyone knows that Ten Hag needs to go and he'll go at some point, so I'd take the trophy with him staying (for now) in this silly scenario.

I'd rather have the winning numbers for the lottery.
Win, keep ETH, have a Summer with a capable management team around him and see if he sinks or floats from there in this scenario.
Beat city and win a trophy or lose to city again in the FA Cup final.
Tricky question for a United fan that.

the caf loves a pointless scenario
If he stays, which I hope he doesn’t regardless of the outcome of the final, he’ll be sacked by October/November anyway, and hopefully won’t have the power to ensure we spend the summer budget on the wrong players. Obviously would rather win the final.
Would be very unprofessional if one match decided his future.

Win and keep, but can sympathise or whatever the word is with the question itself.
The FA Cup has never been particularly important for people of a certain age. We all know what happened to LVG after winning it too, so it's not big to our higher ups either.
LVG going of course means that win and sack is very much on the cards, but it very much does show how the FA cup is regarded too, making it a legitimate question of sorts. Nobody would ask this question of the Champions League or Premier League. The FA Cup or Europa League is where it begins for some.

Sack him regardless
Sack ten Hag and win the cup with Keane as interim manager 
I choose option C, win the Cup and sack him straight after like LVG.
Why are you choosing violence?Sack ten Hag and win the cup with Keane as interim manager
Don't tell me you wouldn't want to see it for just a few matches?Why are you choosing violence?
Tough one. I really want to win the FA Cup but another season like this could be incredibly destructive, and if our results caught up to performances of the last 18 months, then we would be even lower in the table. And if that did happen, then a lot of the posters choosing the FA Cup right now would be frothing at the mouth about the fact he wasn't sacked at the end of this season.
Fortunately this situation isn't going to arise, as an FA Cup win won't be enough to save him - but it would actually smooth the path for his exit and gloss over his failings for his potential next employers. I think it works well for both parties.

Id rather lose the FA cup a keep ten hag.
He he
He he
I would and I imagine a few of our players would be crying dailyDon't tell me you wouldn't want to see it for just a few matches?
I would hope that a decision has already been made regardless of the FA Cup. It’s more that he has to use these last 5 games to show that he can coax better performances to even have a reconsideration
Win the FA cup, feck City
I would and I imagine a few of our players would be crying daily
