Man U targets Winning a Quadruple This Season
Carabao Cup lifted. Man United celebrating lifting silverware for the first time since 2017. Man U targets winning a Quadruple This Season.
Manchester United won their first trophy under Erik ten Hag at the first chance, and their first trophy since the 2016/17 season, with a 2-0 win over Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final.
The loss should not detract from how special a journey this has been for the Magpies. Not since the 1998/99 season had they contested a domestic cup final before today.
But United’s win means they’re still able to win the quadruple, as they’re still in the FA Cup, Europa League and have a chance of winning the Premier League, in which they are currently third.
ONE IS DONE, THREE LEFT’ – WOUT WEGHORST EYES HISTORIC QUADRUPLE WITH MANCHESTER UNITED FOLLOWING EFL CUP WIN
Wout Weghorst is eyeing a historic quadruple with Manchester United following the EFL Cup win over Newcastle at Wembley. No team in England has managed to win all three major domestic trophies (Premier League, Carabao Cup, FA Cup), as well as a European trophy in one season, but the Dutch striker is setting his target high.
Man U targets Winning a Quadruple This Season
League Cup win is the beginning of many more success for Manchester United under Ten Hag and he settled quickly whereas klopp pep took time to adopt their football while Ten Hag want his team to win trophies immediately and I have mad respect for him during Ajax days
it is just so impressive to me how ETH has turned this team around. Not only that, but playing every 3.5 days since January, 3 in the past 7 days alone, and they won this game running on 2.5 days rest while Newcastle were fresh.
If you’re not a champion you can’t think like one. For a champion, every game matters, and every cup absolutely matters as well. Well deserved for United.
Telling stat is the fact that both teams had the same number of shots at goal yet United had nearly 5 times as much on target. For all of Newcastle’s possession they didn’t really test De Gea outside of one or two saves.
It’s the sign of a good team to win despite not playing that well. As a Manchester United fan, I’m greedy. I want to win all 4. From the looks of ten Hag, he wants it too. It’s in his DNA. It’s good to think big and aim high. You just never know what may happen if you try. And I believe in ten Hag. It’s amazing what he has done so far. And he has only just started.
No one mentioning winning europa gives us a chance to play in the European super cup vs the CL winner. Giving the team a chance to play the CL fnalist for a trophy is good motivation going into the preseason.
It was a painful end to the Magpies’ first final since losing by the same scoreline to the same opposition in the 1999 FA Cup showpiece.
Things could have been so different for Eddie Howe’s men had David De Gea not been alert to deny Allan Saint-Maximin’s close-range shot late in the first half.
Within seven minutes of that save the Red Devils had control of the final, with Casemiro heading home Luke Shaw’s free-kick before Botman deflected a Marcus Rashford strike over Loris Karius.
The third-choice goalkeeper, making his debut and first competitive appearance in 728 days, denied Wout Weghorst putting the game to bed in first-half stoppage time.
Newcastle returned brightly from the break but were unable to mount a comeback, extending their wait for a first trophy since their 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup triumph.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
