But a chorus broke out as Manchester United’s players neared the tunnel: “Erik ten Hag’s red-and-white army.” It has been heard before but perhaps the timing supported the beleaguered manager’s case that the fans are still on his side. There is Christian Eriksen, who has lost his place and looks past his best; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, another out of contract in 2025 and a right-back who has lost his battle with Diogo Dalot and is only playing due to a lack of fit left-backs; Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay, who the club were willing to sell last year, who have showed spirit to revive their United careers but who have evidence they may cash in on them if offers arrive; Jonny Evans, who has been valiant when given an unexpected second chance but who is 36 and only has a few weeks left on his deal. open image in gallery Erik ten Hag, Manager of Manchester United, applauds the fans Marcus Rashford, who has had a terrible year, who the club will only sell if he wants to go, is likely to stay, his wages a deterrent to anyone else. open image in gallery Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez, Anthony Martial, Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane and Bruno Fernandes The challenge for United is to get to a stage when many players aren’t or shouldn’t be waving goodbye in the final home game, when they have earned the right to stay.
