Erik ten Hag has chance to end unacceptable Man Utd wait he immediately acknowledged

A first trophy in six years is within touching distance for Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag said such a wait was “too long” for a club of United's stature and he now has the chance to end it in his first season in charge. Late goals from Anthony Martial and Fred sealed the win on the night, although the tie was won in the first leg, which United won comfortably 3-0.

United's last piece of silverware was the Europa League under Jose Mourinho, back in 2017, since when they have failed to deliver a trophy to Old Trafford. Under Ten Hag, United remain in the hunt for four trophies and will have a crack at the first against Newcastle in the EFL Cup final at Wembley on February 26.
