The Dutch head coach is under increased pressure after the arrival of minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS’ changes at Old Trafford. Bosnich believes that winning the FA Cup would secure Ten Hag’s position for next season, but defeat on Saturday would likely end his tenure at United. Bosnich expressed his opinion that winning the FA Cup could save Erik ten Hag’s job, indicating that a potential match against Manchester City in the final would not be easy.
However, he also warned that a loss to Coventry could result in Ten Hag being sacked, as could a heavy defeat in the final if they made it that far. Furthermore, Bosnich suggested potential replacements for Ten Hag, mentioning Ange Postecoglou and Unai Emery. He acknowledged that they may not be interested due to their current successes at Tottenham and Aston Villa, but both could see Manchester United as a significant project with potential.
Bosnich also noted that while the Manchester United job has its appeal, Tottenham and Aston Villa are currently closer to winning their respective leagues.
