Manchester United fans are speculating on whether Erik ten Hag will be sacked today upon seeing a now-deleted social media post from Alejandro Garnacho's brother.
Ten Hag’s Old Trafford future has been uncertain for months, with the Dutchman having simultaneously overseen the club’s worst-ever Premier League campaign in terms of league position, but also won the FA Cup.
Indeed, the latter achievement has seen him become the first United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure to win silverware in successive seasons.

However, some United fans believe Ten Hag will be sacked today due to a now-deleted social media post from Garnacho's brother.
Roberto Garnacho responded to a post from a fan on social media. On Monday one fan wrote: "Tomorrow might be the worst day of my life. Currently looking into the stars, tears building up in my eyes. I can't fathom Ten Hag going."
Roberto then responded: "Same, and I'm not even joking, let's pray for us."

The post has since been deleted and Roberto has gone on to insist he has “no idea about anything" and that he was "just saying what I want him to say".
However, his initial comments have left some fans convinced Ten Hag’s time at Old Trafford could be over.
"Unfortunately, We should Accept he's gone," wrote one fan.
Another added: "I mean it's pathetic all you do is move on and hope Ineos made the right decision plus see how it plans out over time into next season etc. Even if you disagree with it If they do sack him we don't know for what reasons yet nor could be mutual parting ways."

When quizzed on his future in the wake of the FA Cup final Ten Hag said: "I don't know. The only thing I'm doing is preparing my team, developing my team. This is a project for me. When I came in I can say it was a mess. Now we are better. We are not where we want to be. Football is about winning trophies.
"I want to play the best football, dynamic, attacking football but in the end you have to win games and trophies. That's the mentality we brought in. This was our one opportunity and we did it. I'm very proud of the players and staff."
