Majority of Manchester United fans wants Erik Ten Hag to stay next season as seen from the result of the latest polls.
A new poll reveals that most Manchester United fans support retaining Erik ten Hag as manager, despite uncertainty surrounding his future.
The Dutch manager led the team to an FA Cup victory over Manchester City, securing a Europa League spot for next season. However, his position remains in doubt after a challenging Premier League campaign that saw United finish eighth.
The speculation about Ten Hag’s potential sacking intensified before the FA Cup final, with reports suggesting he might be dismissed regardless of the outcome.
Nonetheless, a poll conducted by the Manchester Evening News indicates strong fan support for Ten Hag, with 78% of 10,000 respondents expressing their desire for him to stay.
This sentiment marks a significant shift from earlier in the month when only 39% of fans supported Ten Hag following a 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Despite the ongoing review and speculation, the poll results demonstrate a clear backing from the fanbase for Ten Hag, reflecting their belief in his capability to guide the team forward.
As the club’s leadership evaluates its options, the strong support from the fans could play a crucial role in determining Ten Hag’s fate.
This story highlights the current state of affairs at Manchester United as they navigate managerial decisions and strive to improve their Premier League performance next season.
