Speaking on his YouTube podcast, Rio Ferdinand said: "The more and more I think about it, win or lose [against Manchester City on Saturday], I don't think Erik ten Hag will be at Manchester United come next season.
"I'm not saying that's what I want, I'm just saying what I believe is going to happen, and I believe that the club are going to look elsewhere I think. I don't think winning the FA Cup changes anything in the eyes of INEOS.
"I've not spoken to anyone there, it's just an assumption, this is what I think. Put injuries aside, the performances of the team have been so bad. Most teams have had injuries, maybe not to the same extent as Man United.
"I keep saying this, I sound like a broken record: performance level can drop but your style of football should be there to identify. It's not. I don't know what we are. I don't know who we are. Who are we as a team? What are we?"
Ten Hag's second second at Old Trafford has been a massive disappointment and the Dutchman faces an hour of reckoning after the FA Cup final.
It has been suggested that the manager's future will not be affected by the outcome of the Man City with INEOS currently assessing their options.
