Manchester United’s FA Cup win over Liverpool was meant to be a turning point for Erik ten Hag. Instead his side have played poorly and failed to win in the 4 games since. He is seriously messing up his audition to remain as manager next season.

Ten Hag needs to stop taking off Alejandro Garnacho late in games. He provides pace, a threat and an outlet. It was disastrous against Chelsea and again against Liverpool today.

Garnacho, Mainoo and now Willy Kambwala. have another young star from their academy. A brilliant and mature performance today against Liverpool from the central defender.

The reasons to keep Ten Hag seem to be based on 1) His successful first season 2) No obvious candidate to replace him 3) Acknowledgement of chronic injuries this season 4) The hope he works better with new structure and personnel around him. Anything else?

The shortlist of replacements for Ten Hag that was put been put back in a drawer after the Liverpool win will be out again this morning. No final decision has been made, but it is obvious INEOS will be seriously thinking about whether he is the man to front their project.

Manchester United led 97th minute on Saturday and 97th minute on Thursday. Both against teams in the bottom half. They got 1 point from it. If there is a week that sums up that group of players and coaching staff, there it is.

The win over Liverpool was meant to provide Manchester United with a surge of momentum but instead they served up arguably their worst performance of the season: absolutely clueless, with no attacking threat and fortunate not to lose 3-0. Ten Hag looking vulnerable tonight.

Brentford have won 2 of their last 18 matches and have their entire back four unavailable. Not sure what that says about Manchester United's coaching and playing staff, but that was as hopeless a performance as any PL side has served up all season.
