Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag insists that his players will not be distracted by talk of potentially securing what would be a famous quadruple this season.
United, who will resume their Premier League campaign with a trip to Anfield to face rivals Liverpool on Sunday, clinched their first trophy of the Ten Hag era last weekend, beating Newcastle United 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. They followed up their victory over the Magpies with a 3-1 win over West Ham United in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.
After falling behind to Said Benrahma's opener just nine minutes after half-time, United staged a late comeback to turn the game on its head and book a quarter-final date with Fulham later this month. The Reds are still competing in the Europa League and face Real Betis in the first leg of their last-16 showdown next week.

United are also still in with a chance of winning the Premier League title this season, but must overcome an 11-point deficit to clinch their first league crown since 2013. They are currently third in the standings, 11 points behind table-toppers Arsenal who have played a game more.
But even though United are firm outsiders in the title race, talk of them possibly ending the season with four trophies has intensified in recent weeks. However, Ten Hag admits that his players are focused on nothing more than the next game, describing those who believe the club could end the campaign with four major honours as "dreamers".
"We are not talking about that, we are talking about the next game [vs Liverpool] and it is a big game," Ten Hag told Sky Sports, addressing any hopes the club might have of clinching a famous quadruple. "It is a good game and we are really excited to play this game."
The Dutchman added: "That is for dreamers [talk of winning a quadruple], that is for fans. It is nice but it is not for us [to think about] and the players know that, they are so experienced they don't get distracted from beautiful dreams.
"Maybe you can dream but we don't."
