Scholes had backed Ten Hag to continueNow feels Dutchman's time is upCritical of team's display against PalaceWHAT HAPPENED?
Scholes has backtracked on his previous support for Ten Hag by admitting he believes the Dutchman's time at the club is coming to an end in the wake of a dismal defeat at Crystal Palace. The result means United have won just one of their last seven game and have dropped down to eighth place in the Premier League table. Ten Hag's side are now in danger of missing out on a spot in European football for next season, and doubts are growing about the Dutchman's future at the club.

Despite United's poor form, the club have no intention of making a decision on Ten Hag's future until after after the FA Cup final against Manchester City on May 24. The Dutchman admitted his side hit their "lowest point of the season" against Palace but has insisted he remains the right man for the job despite overseeing a dismal campaign. Yet the fixtures don't get any easier for Ten Hag as title-chasing Arsenal are up next at Old Trafford on Sunday.
WHAT SCHOLES SAID
He told Premier League Productions: "Tonight almost felt like a final nail in the coffin. There was a lack of knowhow in the team, a lack of effort, going to a team like Crystal Palace, who to be fair are a good team and are doing well, but Manchester United shouldn't be going there and losing 4-0.
"I felt for a while he [Ten Hag] might get another year and work for a club that has calmed down a little by the new owners but it doesn't feel like that now.
"I thought who is out there to replace him? With Thomas Tuchel saying he's leaving Bayern Munich, I don't think that creates a bigger problem for him as the problems are there anyway, I think it's quite plain to see that he's on borrowed time."
