Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag focused on Carabao Cup success before semi-final against Nottingham Forest after lengthy wait for silverware
in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. Ten Hag believes the lengthy wait will inspire his team.
Ten Hag knows what a trophy could do for his nascent tenure. “It gives you confidence and once you are winning [titles] that gives you confidence that you know how to do it. And in the difficult moments you learn how you stay in the game, how to stay in to win games as you know the chances will come and, too, what you have to do to get there.
As a manager, Ten Hag’s honours list features three Eredivisie titles and two Dutch cups with Ajax, from 2018-22. “It’s the best feeling you can have, winning a trophy, and I have the luck in my career to win some and it’s magnificent, especially for the fans. The fans here have some experience, especially the older ones. The period Manchester United didn’t win trophies is too long. We are aware of that fact and we have to start doing it again.”Forest’s wait has been even longer.
