City boss Pep throws support behind cup hero Ten Hag
PEP GUARDIOLA reckons the Manchester United board have a "decision" to make after his City side suffered a shock defeat at Wembley.
Nobody predicted a remarkable 2-1 victory for Erik ten Hag's Red Devils. Not least the Old Trafford football hierarchy after it was leaked on Friday that they intended to fire him no matter what happened in yesterday's final.
But having seen his English champions denied a second successive league and cup Double by their neighbours, City boss Guardiola cranked up the pressure on Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Co.
The Spaniard, who embraced Ten Hag warmly at the final whistle, said: "They have to take a decision!
"He's a lovely person and an extraordinary manager. Winning the FA Cup is important for them... like it was for us last season."
Ten Hag played dumb regarding his future but slammed the critics who suggested finishing eighth in the league with a negative goal difference - is unacceptable.
