David Beckham has warned the Manchester United players struggling for motivation ahead of the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
The players have received plenty of criticism this season as they sit eighth in the Premier League with three matches remaining.
Their Carabao Cup defence and Champions League campaign was equally as disappointing but the Red Devils can make something of the campaign by winning the FA Cup.
The only problem with that is the opposition standing in their way.
Manchester City are the clear favourites to win the showcase match at Wembley and if they do come out victorious, you have to feel that the writing will be on the walls for Erik ten Hag, if it isn t already.
With United struggling on the pitch, the vast majority of the blame has fallen on to Ten Hag, who does deserve a lot of the blame, to be honest.
The Dutchman is a manager who never takes accountability for poor performances/results and is always quick to blame injuries and officials after a defeat.
Despite this and the lack of a clear philosophy on the pitch, the number of injuries Ten Hag has been forced to contend with is outrageous, so we can at least cut him some slack.
Getting a result at Wembley against their City rivals could give Ten Hag the credit in the bank needed to keep his job ahead of a huge summer under the ownership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Beckham: If you re not up for FA Cup final, you re in the wrong team and sport
Speaking on the red carpet at Printworks in Manchester on Thursday evening, United legend Beckham praised Ten Hag and said that the magnitude of the fixture will do the talking for the manager, and if players do not feel up for it, they are in the wrong team and playing the wrong sport .
You d hope that the manager doesn t have to do much, he told talkSPORT.
