'Tipping point' - national media agree on Erik ten Hag's Manchester United future

Manchester United survived an almighty scare against Coventry City on Sunday to book their place in the FA Cup final vs Manchester City.

After being comfortably in control against the Championship club, three goals in 20 minutes pushed the game into extra-time at Wembley Stadium. Ellis Simms and Haji Wright both went close to winning it in the additional half an hour, while Victor Torp had a goal ruled out by VAR for a tight offside call.

Eventually, United did get the better of the Sky Blues on penalties, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring the winner. But the consensus from the national media is that the pressure is now too much for Erik ten Hag to continue in his role. Take a look at how they reacted to the match below.

After declaring United's performance a freak show, Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail wrote: "From a position of comfort, Manchester United once again found chaos. From a nailed-on victory, they nearly suffered a defeat so calamitous you began to wonder if Erik ten Hag would get out of Wembley with his job intact.

"Kevin Keegan once quit as England manager in the toilets here, and Ten Hag could have been forgiven for deciding that he has had enough of this United team and this basket case of a season if Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS cohorts didn’t take the decision out of his hands and end it right here. Because although United lost control of this semi-final, Ten Hag’s hand was on the tiller again.

"His team, his tactics. Yes, he can talk about injuries and a ‘curse’ of penalty decisions, but this has happened too often on his watch this season to be a horrible coincidence."
