But Manchester United’s celebrations after defying the odds to defeat Manchester City and win the English FA Cup on Sunday were tempered by reports that its manager Erik ten Hag would be fired, regardless of the result.
When those reports were put to him after Sunday’s victory, Ten Hag pointed to his trophy-winning résumé.
“The team is progressing, and we are winning trophies.
Two trophies in two years is not bad,” he said, referring to his team’s League Cup victory last year.
