Erik ten Hag warned Manchester United's owners that he will carry on winning trophies elsewhere, if they decide to sack him in the aftermath of the 2-1 FA Cup final victory over Manchester City on May 25.
The Dutchman went into the match rocked by reports that he would be dismissed, regardless of the result.
But United's beleaguered manager made a convincing case to remain in charge as he outwitted City boss Pep Guardiola to deliver the second trophy of his turbulent twoyear reign - following the League Cup last season.
Now ten Hag must wait to discover his fate after insisting he had not been told if he will be axed.
United's minority shareholder Jim Ratcliffe and members of the Glazer family, who are the club's owners, were present at Wembley to celebrate the team's first FA Cup triumph since 2016.
But it remains to be seen whether that will be enough to save ten Hag after United finished eighth in the English Premier League - their lowest final position since 1990 and crashed out of the Champions League at the group stage.
"When I started here, I said I'm here to win, also I want to build a team. Both I'm doing," ten Hag said.
