'I hope he stays' - Man Utd star backs Erik ten Hag and opens up on 'great relationship' with under-fire manager

United won the FA Cup at Wembley, thanks to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erik-ten-hag-fighting-clutching-trophy-winners-losers-man-utd-man-city-fa-cup-final-erling-haaland/blt67df24b42cba5e0f" target="_blank">goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo</a>. Nevertheless, reports earlier this week <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/revealed-erik-ten-hag-already-knows-man-utd-sack-fate-as-fa-cup-final-arrives-too-late-to-save-him/bltb83dda70e8ea0736" target="_blank">claimed that United had already decided to sack Ten Hag</a>, regardless of the result in the final.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ten Hag was naturally asked about his future after the game and remained defiant, claiming that he will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erik-ten-hag-defiant-man-utd-future-sacked-fa-cup-final-man-city/bltff198a8c90593b7d" target="_blank">simply "go somewhere else and win trophies" if he is sacked</a>. Of course, the Dutchman also guided United to a disappointing eighth-placed Premier League finish, a failure that seems to loom large in the minds of the board. Evans, though, hopes his manager stays.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Evans said: "I hope so (that Ten Hag stays). He’s been amazing for me this season, bringing me back in, showing a lot of belief in me and playing me as much as he has. I’ve only got good things to say about him and I think over the last month or so he’s shown incredible technical flexibility to be able to sit off counter attack, a style he doesn’t see himself coaching, but he’s done it and over the last month or so we’ve put in some much better performances."He’s been amazing for me and I can only thank him for that. I have a great relationship with him and I hope he stays. I came back in the summer and he put his trust me, which is all you want from your manager. I’ve had 30 games this season, so I’m happy.”

WHAT EVANS SAID

While Evans did play 30 times, his contract expires this summer and it remains to be seen if he will be kept on, particularly if Ten Hag does leave. The Northern Irish star is now 36, after all.
