Sort of interview from the BBC that SAF would have banned them for life for.
Ten Hag should never have been in this position. Due to the handling by United (and INEOS), he’s now facing personal direct attacks on the day he’s won the FA Cup. Either sack him early, or say nothing and make the decision after the final. Stupid from INEOS to “inform United” of their decision prior to the final, knowing it’s likely getting leaked.
Feel for the bald cnut.

I’d go as far as saying this is the best day as a united supporter in 11 years but he should still be sacked, we grinded it out today but we’ll go nowhere long term with him, thanks for today though Erik
Luck is also what you can say about his performance in league with injuries. You said we are a cup team with no victories. Then how are we cup team?
Pep ungracious prick as ever.
It’s still huge to win 2 trophies in 2 years after none for 4. Nobody cares about semi finals and finals. We went through a long trophy draught and he corrected that. For that I am grateful. It’s not enough for him to stay but still a big positive.
Got it right today... we wont the cup.. what a great day 
It’s the Ten Hag thread… if you want to focus on the game itself, there’s the post match thread, where I have also posted regarding the match itself I a very positive manner.
Pep needs another dose of whatever batch of drugs he abuses. Weirdo
Reads like a @Sarni shitpost
Yes, and you're a great judge of brains, clearly.
It looks like a wave goodbye as he holds the FA Cup
Jesus, why aren't you guys celebrating, I'm on my way to the pub!
Leave the arguing for tomorrow, drink now!
We fecked Pep from behind! CHEERS!

Im so happy we won the cup.
now sack him.
now sack him.
Basing such evaluations on the last 3 games is incredibly shortsighted though. I am sorry. We still conceded so many shots in the last three games and today was going back to the most game plan there is, keep it tight and try to counter. That is not a tactic. Have you guys not learned anything from the Ole times? He had exactly the same plan and where did we go from there? To opponents giving the ball to us and not offer any space to counter. Thats not the way forward. We play the match today 10 times and I am sure we find ways to lose it at least 5 times.
Dalot said he didn't want to use the injuries etc as an excuse, and Lineker said something similar to: "Well your manager did"
Looked like a wave goodbye there
Changed my mind and my vote. Keep
Do you not think its down to tactics? In the tougher games, we tend to set up in a mid block, but I think had he had a bit more structure throughout the season in the games we were expected to win, then we'd have done a lot better.
He went from a double pivot to a single pivot and ultimately, I think that's what done him over.
Well I'm not an MRI machine.
The writing is on the wall, he's really trying to sell himself in the post game interviews.
He is really the biggest sore loser. 115 charges… says he’s leaving after next season, maybe because he knows they are fecking cheaters
"So tell me Alan how do you think that Newcastle feel that we first took Ashworth and then we knocked them out of European football? Here's one to you too Gary. What it takes for a Spurs legend to win the league without actually playing for us?. Surely you don't need to crap in your pants to answer this"
Happy for Erik whether he stays or hes off, thanks Erik for the two trophies. On a side note can we start a petition to get motd to replace Lineaker and co....fed up of them.
Beating this 115 side in a cup final is a fantastic achievement. It is difficult to predict whether any other manager would do better with those injuries. His team can play football as shown by ajax. I will still give him one more season but not the licence to transfer dealings.
We are! And I am on the way too, though a bit early here
TBF SAF was never a bundle of joy whenever we lost a final
No, you can't. He was shit in the league no matter who played, even with a full squad. He may had to shuffle the defense, but he still had some very good CBs available.most of the season. Our attack has been mostly the same and that is crap as well. Our midfield has been abysmal all season.
We have victories in the cup, with Jose, LVG and even Ole reached semis and finals. Doing well only in cup competitions is the definition of a cup team.
Look at the teams he had to beat for those 3 trophies
Leicester in the Community Shield
Northampton, City (who were playing a B team and weren't the best team in the world anyways at that time) West Ham, Hull City and Southampton in the EFL Cup
Feyenoord, Zorya Luhansk, Fenerbahce, Saint-Etienne, Rostov, Anderlecht, Celta Vigo (where we were lucky that Guidetti missed a huge chance in the last minute as we would've been out on away goals) and Ajax in the Europa League
Please be serious
ETH beating La Liga champions Barcelona last season in the EL, and beating the best team in the world just now, as well as Ole knocking PSG out of the CL are all more impressive cup performances than the lucky cup runs Jose got. Ole also knocked out Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool from the FA Cup.
Just the smallest bit of context provided makes it clear that Jose got incredibly lucky that he never met a single team in those 3 cup runs where United weren't comfortably favorites to go through or win the trophy in the case of the 3 finals.
I don't like to use this word but Jose's PR is genuinely crazy. The Mourinho and Ronaldo cults will cling onto anything and spin it their way. He's way closer to LVG and Moyes than he is to Ole or ETH.
Edit: Forgot two impressive cup performances that came against better teams than what Jose had to face on his 3 cup winning runs: The EFL final vs Newcastle and the 4-3 Liverpool game from this season.

Yeah. He did that 150 degree arm waving thing. Probably the last time people will see him ever again.
Regardless of his future here, people HAVE to give him credit it for that. That wasn't just a smash and grab either, we rode our luck a bit at times in the second half but if we'd been a bit calmer we could have scored a third. He outclassed Pep in this game. No question.
Could he not smash the FA Cup around Shearer's head? The cnut only ever saw it from a distance he wouldn't even recognise it.
Is he being sacked or killed?
Why? For finishing 8th and having negative GD?
You have to understand that many aren't best pleased we just won the Cup against a team bank rolled by a nation state. People want their opinions to be vindicated and a loss in the final would've given them more ammunition to fire at ten Hag.
I've consistently said that with the injuries the team has suffered, it made ten Hag change his strategy where he went more direct and tried implementing a proactive style via forcing high turn-overs. We didn't have the players in the build up phase to play out of a press with players consistently being unavailable and also having other positions further forward being disrupted by injury. So playing direct and trying to force high turnovers was the go to method because playing compact in a lower block wasn't going to develop the team in a proactive way but we would've rather carried on playing in a reactive manner. But as you saw today, when you have a GK who isn't a nervous wreck on the ball, a CB like Martinez who is comfortable in small spaces and a player like Amrabat who is much more comfortable in small spaces compared to Casemiro, then you have a strong platform at the back with the added ability of Mainoo and Dalot. This performance wasn't a hit and hope and we actually had composure on the ball for periods or else you just don't beat a City team that is one of the best teams in the world.
Whether they keep him or let him go, what he's done is that he's created a very strong foundation by removing the likes of Ronaldo and De Gea and introducing several youth players who many on this forum doubted before their arrival. The next coach will have strong foundations to work with as far as developing a proactive attacking team.
