  • Man United boss Erik ten Hag has come under immense scrutiny in recent weeks
  • United have endured a frustrating run of results across competitions this season
  • The Red Devils currently occupy eighth on the Premier League log with 31 points

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has made Erik ten Hag sack prediction despite the club's recent FA Cup win.

Ten Hag has come under immense scrutiny in recent weeks following United's disastrous run of form and lack of consistency across competitions.

The Red Devils have already been bundled out of two competitions, including the Champions League and the Carabao Cup.

Owing to their struggles in the Premier League, the Old Trafford dwellers stand no realistic chance of claiming the crown, leaving them with just the FA Cup to challenge for.

Ten Hag's charges booked a place in the fourth round of the tournament on Monday night after seeing off lower-tier side Wigan in a 2-0.

The Guardian reports that two goals from Diogo Dalot in either half of the encounter secured United a spot in the fourth round.

Keane predicts Ten Hag's sacking

Despite United's latest win, Keane contends that Ten Hag's future at Old Trafford is still hanging by a thread.

According to the former defender, the Red Devils could get rid of the Dutchman within the 'next few months.'

“The manager there mentions the ‘project’ – it probably means he’ll be gone in the next few months," Keane said via talkSPORT.
“This dreaded word ‘project’. No, I didn’t see it tonight with United and I’ve not seen it for the last few months," HE added.

Ten Hag maintains he is the right man for the job

Erik ten Hag also defended himself in the wake of the Nottingham Forest defeat by insisting he was the right man for the job.

United have already recorded nine defeats in 20 Premier League outings, with their latest loss coming at the hands of Nottingham Forest.

Speaking after the Nottingham defeat, ten Hag said he believed the team could get more consistent, Sports Brief reported.
