The run-in represents a crucial period for Ten Hag as he attempts to convince the United hierarchy to give him more time in the hot-seat.

After finishing third and winning the League Cup in Ten Hag’s first season, Manchester United have underwhelmed this term, slipping nine points outside the top-four places and suffering an embarrassing group-stage exit in the Champions League.

United could yet end the season on a high by winning the FA Cup – they face Championship side Coventry City in the semi-finals – and climbing up the Premier League table.

Wolves’ Gary O’Neil was also recently linked with United, though his potential role would be in a coaching set-up beneath the manager.
