He shouldn't be, despite whatever the most hyperbolic scoopers might say.

I do think if next season is anywhere near as bad as this one, Shaka will be looking for a job. If it's just mediocre and we're on the wrong side of the bubble, then he'll be on the hot seat going into 2027-28.

Next season is so pivotal. If they retain their core (Nigel, Adrien, Royce, Damarius, Phillips) and add good pieces through the portal, it could make for a massive turnaround with a tournament run. If it's bad, then MU risks losing all these pieces to the portal.
