Manchester United are three games away from their first trophy in nearly six years and Erik ten Hag understands the gravitas.
Speaking in Tuesday’s press conference ahead of the first leg of the club’s League Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest, the Reds boss said: “I think the fans here have some experience, especially the older ones, but in this period, Manchester United didn't win trophies and it's too long ago. We are aware of that fact and we have to do it again."
With this in mind, and given United host Championship Reading in the FA Cup three days later, Ten Hag is expected to name a strong side. United’s last visit to the City Ground in February 1999 saw them dismantle Forest 8-1.
