Despite reaching the FA Cup final, United's rocky journey, marked by surrendering a 3-0 lead in the semi-final against Coventry, has invited harsh criticism. The media's reception to their semi-final win drew ire from Ten Hag, reflecting the team's struggles to assert dominance on the field.

With new ownership contemplating changes, names like Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Tuchel emerge as potential replacements, raising uncertainties about Ten Hag's future.
