A former Manchester United coach believes Erik ten Hag should be sacked despite winning the FA Cup.
The Red Devils ended a disappointing campaign on a high after defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup final last week.
Ten Hag's men were eliminated in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League and finished eighth in the Premier League this term.

When asked if Ten Hag should stay, Phelan told talkSPORT, "No, I don't. That is just the way I see it. We are talking about Manchester United here. It's a big decision. An important decision.
"(Ten Hag) has been forthright and honest. He obviously sees things internally, he's got a group of players where he is going to get some out and get some in. He's confident he is going to take it to another level and that's great."
"He won the FA Cup out of the blue I think nobody expected it, playing in a style he should have thought about a little bit earlier in the season. This season you can't say anything other than it's been very disappointing.
"Not just the performances look at the stats, the stats tell you everything, goals conceded, goals scored even, it's been unusual.
"It has taken a lot longer than to release Louis van Gaal after the cup final. Who do (INEOS) they want? Are they available? Sometimes, it's easier to get people out than to get people in. You need a manager, with full backing."
