Ten Hag FA Cup final decision key to him staying on at Manchester United
Manager accepted suggestion about Fernandes as false 9Dutchman’s flexibility impressed Sir Jim Ratcliffe
Erik ten Hag’s willingness to accept Jason Wilcox’s tactical suggestion that he use Bruno Fernandes as a false 9 in Manchester United’s FA Cup triumph against Manchester City was a key factor in the Dutchman being retained as manager.
While it was Ten Hag’s call, his decision impressed Sir Jim Ratcliffe as evidence he can work within the minority owner’s new football structure.
