Manchester United have held talks with not one but TWO managers about replacing Erik ten Hag just a day after their FA Cup triumph.

Man United salvaged their miserable 2023/24 season as they claimed the FA Cup following their 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Saturday.

Goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo ensured the Red Devils ended the season on a high amid a torrid campaign.

After the game, Ten Hag directly addressed his future as he was grilled by Alan Shearer during an interview on BBC.

Despite securing a second trophy since his arrival, Ten Hag is at 'serious risk' of being sacked.

That's according to The Telegraph, who claim the club have held discussions with the representatives of Thomas Frank and Mauricio Pochettino.

The report states that Man United have met with the people from the Frank and Pochettino camps as the club continue to explore their options ahead of making a final decision on the Dutchman.

Man United's key 'decision-makers' will conduct a thorough season review this week at which the 54-year-old's fate will be determined.

Brentford boss Frank has done an impressive at Brentford over the past six years while Pochettino is without a team following his Chelsea departure.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Ten Hag hit back at reports claiming he will be sacked.

Asked about his future, he replied: "I don't think about this. I'm in a project and we are exactly where we want to be.

"We are constructing a team and when I took over, it was a mess at Man Utd. We are now on our way to constructing a team for the future

"There will be ups and downs, but you see, the team is developing, the team is winning and at the end of the day, it is about winning trophies.

"The team also plays to an identity, but you need the players to be available. You need a strong squad in top football, especially when you play in England and in Europe. The Premier League is so competitive, so you need a very good squad, and you need the players available in that squad."
