Just makes it look even more true if you do that. The media are going to report on it, they owe the Premier League clubs NOTHING. Unless there’s an NDA preventing it, it’s going to get reported on.
This is most likely an agent or intermediary leak.

I thought the news of sacking LvG during the FA Cup final was in bad taste, the day before just takes the biscuit. Jim carrying on the Glazer legacy.
I hope Ten Hag leaves on a high by winning the cup.
It's a figure of speech you've horribly misused, given that it literally means by all accounts, and you've provided a single account, Jan Aage Fjortoft, who's far from top tier.
Given that it's opposed by the BBC, a far more reliable source, it definitely doesn't assuage any fears that this has been handled terribly by the club.
Tuchel probably knew this was going to happen, which is why he didn't accept Bayern's late overtures to retain him.
May have been mentioned previously, but Steven Howson on Stretford Paddock said that he had been informed that INEOS were looking to replace ETH regardless. It was only in the last few days that they passed this info onto "the club", i.e. The Glazers. This is how it leaked.
Be great to get a win , just hate the drama sh*t that always surrounds United. Such a muppet show club
Everybody trying to put us in some negative way before important final should get at least 6 months ban from our press conference. Or OldTrafford.

Have the guardian gone to united with this story and got a "non-denial denial"
Namely, "we are going to run the story that the decision to sack ETH has already been made....are you going to comment or disagree?" And then the club refused to comment?
Or have just watched "All the presidents men" too many times.

Very good decision. I'm incredibly relieved. Hope it's not bollox.
No source just opinion and speculation here.
I would blame it more on the FA Cup being scheduled after the end of the PL season than anything. I can see why they wouldn't want to derail preparations for the final by saying they'll sack him afterwards, so what do you do? Hope to keep the lid on it until after the final? Almost impossible in this current media climate, and further complicated by Brighton and Chelsea having vacancies and similar names on their lists.
It's unfortunate to have this drama ahead of the final, and it's certainly unfair to ten Hag. But as with van Gaal back then, these decisions aren't made in a nutshell.
I understand the frustration but come on the club can't control all sources of information. Like many speculated it is probably coming from sources linked to the new manager/other clubs. We can’t do anything about it. Let’s just relax and see what tomorrow brings.
LVG knew weeks before he was getting sacked and still won us the final. I still remember one of his press conference where he walked out as he was saying his family all thought he’d been sacked already.
Sure let’s assume the BBC is the king of media truths.
anyway I honestly don’t care. Wanted him sacked for his performances so I’m happy.
Nearly everyone on here was saying city would thump us anyway so what difference will it make?
looking forward to tomorrows, i personally think we’re gonna sneak it somehow for 2-1 despite all this noise. Looking forward to then moving forward next season.
people can't honestly think the club leaked this
That would be brilliant outcome. Mckenna goes to Brighton, Chelsea get the leicester manager
Also I think the reports saying he’s getting sacked whether we win or lose should hopefully make them still try and win the trophy for us fans. If they didn’t like the manager and it said he’ll be sacked if we lose but could stay if we win then they’d probably lose on purpose.
Apparently Ducker is one of Jim's fav's to 'leak' stuff to, or talk to. Till he says something I won't fully buy these rumours

I'm enjoying the various meltdowns for no good reason.
Honestly I find it strange that you'll accept such a lack of class and professionalism from the club management. Given that you want Ten Hag sacked for his performances, I'd expect you to want leakers sacked for undermining the club too.
It's possible to be happy about the decision and unhappy about how it was handled, just as I was with the LVG sacking.
Dude is on a journo banning spree from last night. Even Putin would say nyet to this.
Well if it isn't true then the Guardian should be perma banned from Old Trafford.
In fact, I already think they should be banned. They could have released this tomorrow evening but no, it had to be today.
I really doubt that.
Nonetheless, I see signs of hope for the future with the younger players (of which some are Ten Hag signings), starting to show good things. Build around them, replace the obvious has beens. Who's left from Moyes', LVG's, Mourinho's, etc teams? Rashford, Martial, McTom, Shaw? Of course, they must be the first to go in the summer, no more negotiation.
NB: 18 months from now, I'll be here defending when our next manager getting sacked
But they do and it's doubly entertaining grown ass men melting like this. Or are they (grown ups)?people can't honestly think the club leaked this
Im acutually in a tin hat moment…if we win the FA Cup then we go to Europa league… at the expense of Chelsea. And A Chelsea-related writer leaks to the story…
Unless they are lying, what are you going to ban them for? Doing their work and not sitting on information so that it will suit us?

Woody really did a number on a lot of our fans. He loved to leak stuff thinking he was playing 5D chess or some shit, but he was just an idiot.
The contrast of your behaviour between the last week of Ole's and ETH' management is staggering.
Or a journalist reached out to McKenna's, Pochettino's or Tuchel's agents and the name of United came up.
Sir Alex did a number on us too. By being so bloody brilliant for so long, that people started taking it for granted, getting the impression any manager could get to that level.
This is my opinion too.
There is no need to have court case solid reason to ban them. It's our media room and we just don't let them in.
They are free to tell the truth (is it even the truth?), but the choice of their timing is clearly unfriendly.
Genuinely wish we could pin posts.
Timing is shit but the decision is absolutely correct, and should've been taken sooner.
Which says the story is true.
Should have sacked him a few weeks ago if the club had a shred of integrity.
Even then people generally made up the leaks because his actual briefs were obvious, you could picture him writing them with BS like 30k right footed left fullback being scouted and Darmian being the obvious winner.
It's baffling to see how so many posters are okay with the timing of this leak. It's even more baffling to see those who aren't okay with the leak, but happy to let the club management off the hook with the "new manager reps / intermediaries must have leaked it" line of defense, as if there are no other clubs in world football who have ever managed to sound out new managers without undermining the current one.
This is horrific
That makes for grim reading.
i don’t think any of the decent ones will be there instead of wembley.
