Erik ten Hag might not be able to afford to follow Pep Guardiola's lead when making David de Gea decision

Manchester United appear to have turned a number of corners this season, but they risk going around in circles if they don't make the ruthless decisions they need to this summer.

Defeat in the FA Cup final to Man City was not the note they wanted to end on, though it might well do them some good in the long term if it pushes them closer to the uncomfortable changes that need to be made.

For all the improvements that Erik ten Hag has made, there are some things that are still beyond his control. He has taken this current set of players just about as far as they can go, and it is quite clear that some of them simply won't ever be good enough to make them title winners again.
