FA CUP ‘Manchester United can deal with setbacks’ – Ten Hag
United bounced back from Sevilla defeat to beat Brighton and reach the FA Cup final.
Ten Hag was interviewed by the London club, which ended up not appointing him because his English was at an ‘adequate’ level and also lacked charisma.
Former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo was appointed, but he ended up staying at Tottenham for less than four months. Antonio Conte was then appointed, lasted for 16 months, and left a rant against the club and the players following a disappointing performance against Southampton.
The revolving door continued to swing, and Cristian Stellini – who was Conte’s assistant and mandated to oversee the club on a temporary basis – was recently sent packing following a huge defeat at the hands of Newcastle United.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag has had an impressive debut season with Manchester United and has led the club to Carabao Cup glory. This was United’s first trophy since 2017.
The Red Devils are also in the FA Cup final and are set to battle with Manchester City on June 3.
The former Ajax manager is tipped to lead United to a top four finish and eventually take part in the Champions League campaign next season. On the other hand, Spurs are struggling, and their top four dream – given their recent performance - remains distant.
