Erik ten Hag has warned his players that Manchester United can’t become a soft touch.
United face a make-or-break week which begins at Nottingham Forest before taking them into a Europa League showdown with Sevilla and an FA Cup semi-final date against Brighton at Wembley next weekend.
Having propelled the Reds into the top four and lifted the club’s first trophy in six years by winning the Carabao Cup, the shock of seeing Sevilla score twice in the final eight minutes to put United’s progress into a European semi-final in doubt has prompted Ten Hag to order his men to toughen up.
