In a stunning revelation that will send shockwaves through Old Trafford, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has confessed that neither he nor his teammates have any idea whether Erik ten Hag will remain as manager next season.
The Portuguese midfielder broke his silence amid growing uncertainty surrounding the Dutchman's position, with new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe conducting a thorough end-of-season review that could determine Ten Hag's fate.
United Squad Left in Limbo
Fernandes delivered his bombshell admission following United's FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, a result that secured European football but apparently did little to clarify Ten Hag's standing at the club.
'We all know that the future is not certain for anyone, not even for the manager,' Fernandes revealed in a candid interview. 'None of us has been told about what's going to happen. We're just waiting like everyone else.'
FA Cup Glory Not Enough?
Despite delivering the club's 13th FA Cup trophy in what many considered a tactical masterclass against their city rivals, Ten Hag's position appears increasingly precarious after United's worst Premier League finish in history.
The Red Devils ended the campaign in eighth position, their lowest placing since 1990, raising serious questions about whether cup success alone can save the former Ajax manager's job.
Ratcliffe's Critical Decision
All eyes are now on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who face one of their most significant decisions since acquiring a minority stake in the club. The football operations team, led by Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox, and potentially Dan Ashworth, must weigh whether to stick with Ten Hag or pursue a fresh direction.
Fernandes' comments suggest the dressing room remains united behind their manager, but completely unaware of what the future holds as the club's hierarchy deliberates behind closed doors.
The situation creates an atmosphere of uncertainty at Carrington as players depart for international duty and summer breaks, not knowing who will be in charge when they return for pre-season preparations.
