Man United fans think Erik ten Hag could make a sensational U-turn by remaining at the club after what he said in an "off-the-record" chat after the FA Cup final.

The Athletic journalist Andy Mitten explained that he had a chat with the boss after the game in which he expressed a desire to stay after a United fan poll revealed 84 per cent were in favour of him remaining.

This comes after Football Insider revealed that Ten Hag would be sacked regardless of the outcome of the final.

However, after a 2-1 win against rivals Man City saw them lift the trophy, there have been calls for the boss to cling on to his position.

United finished 8th in the Premier League and came bottom of their Champions League group, in what was a disappointing season before the FA Cup victory which also secured them Europa League football.

The FA Cup success now means Ten Hag has won two trophies in his first two years at Old Trafford after lifting the Carabao Cup last season.

Some fans even suggested they could turn against new part-owners INEOS if the boss loses his job as backing for Ten Hag's position continues to rise.

If the INEOS mistakenly sack him they will start having issues with the fans by loosing majority of their support. They should give him time and support him, if he doesn’t perform we will have justifiable reason to sack him. Not now with all the chaos in the structure before.

Could be an absolute PR disaster if they sack him now, but I still think he’s gone. INEOS are just Glazers 2.0.

If INEOS sack him, the last 2 years were for nothing

He has to stay. He’s been doing the role of 4 different people over the last 2 years. Get a good group of people around him and let him do his job. Yesterday showed that the fans are behind him and the younger players are buying into his football.

I think ten Haag has done a magnificent job
Blame the players like rashford and others who have been half hearted
He deserves at least another season to get rid of the deadwood
But has a huge task on the money they're on

Good morning! I think it is pretty clear now that the vast majority of Utd fans want ETH to stay. Now the ball is in Sir Jim's court. INEOS needs to make its position on this clear asap.

United have won 5 major trophies since Sir Alex retired in 2013. Ten Hag has won 2 of them in 2 years! Wake up INEOS and build with him and this fanbase. If you don't you're going against the fans to continue the Glazer strategy

I eill never forgive them if at any case ETH is sacked
