Manchester United will reportedly make a decision on Erik ten Hag's future next week.

Ten Hag came under criticism all season and many felt that he deserved to be sacked at various stages.

However, the United board chose to stick with the Dutchman until at least the summer.

And, this turned out to be the right call, as Ten Hag's side produced a fantastic performance in Saturday's FA Cup final.

Despite being huge underdogs, United beat Manchester City 2-1 to win the trophy and finish the campaign on a high.

Ten Hag's job is not necessarily safe, though, as the Red Devils will 'conduct a season review next week,' according to The Athletic.

United are thought to have held talks with Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna over replacing the Dutchman, should the board decide to let him go.

Ten Hag makes bold claim

Ten Hag has been increasingly prickly and almost Jose Mourinho-esque when facing the media in recent weeks.

Whether it was due to frustration at questions over his future, or cockiness after an impressive win, Ten Hag raised eyebrows with his bullish comments after the game.

"Two trophies in two seasons and three finals," Ten Hag said. "That’s not bad. If they don’t want me anymore, I'll go somewhere else to win trophies.

"That is what I do. I am here to win and I want to build a team. My whole managerial career I have won games and trophies."
