Erik ten Hag's statement against De Gea after the FA Cup final that leave his future up in the air

The FA Cup final left a lot of pain inside the Manchester United dressing room after losing to Manchester City. The fans were left with the desire to lift the second trophy of the season and have begun to point the finger at the players they consider directly responsible for the defeat and one of them is goalkeeper David de Gea.

The defeat might not be useless beyond not having achieved the goal, as Erik ten Hag and his coaching staff would use the performance of the match to determine which players will continue with the team next season and who could leave in this transfer market that will start on June 14 in England.

David de Gea not only conceded the fastest goal in the history of FA Cup finals, but was also unable to prevent Manchester City's second goal, which ended up being the definitive one for Pep Guardiola's team to lift the title of the oldest club tournament in the world.

In this situation, and after the end of the match, Erik ten Hag expressed his discontent for the defeat against the city rivals and talked about his feelings after missing the goal, and was upset by the way in which City scored the two goals that won the match.

What did Erik ten Hag have to say?

After the FA Cup final defeat, Erik ten Hag said that the two goals Manchester City scored "were avoidable". He also said he was disappointed and that although he is proud of the team, they conceded two "soft goals". When asked if David de Gea could have done more in the second goal, he simply said that "now is not the time for criticise".
