Since gaining charge of United two years ago, the Dutchman will be making his fourth trip to the national stadium for the FA Cup semi-final match against Coventry City, which will take place this coming Saturday.
His first trip was for the final of the Carabao Cup from the previous season, while his most recent two trips were for the semi-finals and final of the FA Cup.
Ten Hag was present as United won their first championship since 2017 with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle. The match took place under the famous arch.
His expectation was that he would be able to return to the Royal Balcony in June to compete against Manchester City in the second domestic cup final of the season.
United, on the other hand, is aware that in order to salvage their season, they need to triumph over Coventry on Sunday.
They were eliminated from the Carabao Cup in the early stages, and their time in Europe was over before the children could finish devouring the contents of their advent calendars.
As a result, their chances of qualifying for the Champions League the next season are virtually nonexistent.
It is only through the victory of the FA Cup that United will be able to salvage anything from an otherwise disappointing season.
Moreover, it is possible that this is the only way that Ten Hag has a chance of retaining his post.
The United team is not likely to have a high level of confidence within the group, despite the fact that there is no question that United will be the favorites in the FA Cup encounter against Coventry that will take place on Sunday.
Over the course of their last four matches, United has not been victorious, drawing three of them and losing one of them.
As a result of their match against Bournemouth, which ended in a 2-2 draw, and Aston Villa’s victory over Arsenal, which took place twenty-four hours later, they are currently thirteen points behind the top four in the Premier League with only six games left to play.
In spite of the fact that their chances of qualifying for the Champions League are virtually nonexistent, United must finish the season on a high note.
This is especially important for the purpose of securing qualification for the Europa League, which is the second most prestigious European award that is available.
Additionally, West Ham and Chelsea are putting a lot of pressure on each other, and the competition for European involvement is growing increasingly fierce.
Following their journey to Wembley on Sunday, United will play two league games at home against Sheffield United and Burnley.
Both of these teams are quite likely to be relegated in the weeks that follow.
Considering that United has only won three league games away from home so far this season, they should strive to earn six points and two immaculate performances.
