Gary Neville makes Erik ten Hag sack prediction with clear Man United target for Sir Jim Ratcliffe

Gary Neville believes Erik ten Hag could be sacked if Manchester United don't win the FA Cup this season. The Reds will lock horns with Coventry City at Wembley in the semi-final on Sunday, April 21 and need a result following a disappointing 2023/24 campaign so far.

United haven't won the FA Cup since 2016 (beating Crystal Palace in extra-time) despite having reached the final twice since, losing to Chelsea and Manchester City in 2018 and 2023 respectively. Even if the Reds manage to see off Mark Robbins' side, they will face either Chelsea or City in the final.

Speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast, the former United captain claims the club's season will be over if they don't defeat Coventry. As quoted by Sky Sports, the 49-year-old said: "They have just got to try get to the end of the season and win the FA Cup which is not going to be easy.

"They have to win next weekend as the season will be over if they don't. Erik ten Hag has got to look at this season whereby he could finish his first two seasons with two trophies in the bank, one in each season. That should never be sniffed at."

Neville says that the Reds' season is not the only thing on the line on Sunday, with Ten Hag's future also resting on the result: "There's nothing left to say about some of the League performances we're seeing and some of the things we're watching, the tweets and the likes, we've said it so many times before.

"But what we can say is that Erik ten Hag's future is largely dependent on the FA Cup, as their performances in the League are gone. They are not going to change, now
