Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has emphasized the importance of winning the FA Cup to reward the unwavering support of the club's loyal fans. Despite a disappointing Premier League campaign that saw United finish eighth, their worst position since 1990, Ten Hag believes that lifting the FA Cup would provide some solace.
United's hopes of European qualification now hinge on their performance in the FA Cup final against Manchester City next weekend. A victory at Wembley would also have a significant impact on Ten Hag's future at Old Trafford, following a tumultuous season marked by injuries and poor results.
The Dutchman acknowledged the unwavering support of United's fans throughout the difficult campaign, despite the team's struggles. "We have the best fans in the world," Ten Hag said. "They have been with us through thick and thin, and we owe it to them to give them a trophy."
Ten Hag emphasized the need for improvement in the upcoming season, stating, "We have to perform better. We have to pay back our fans and give them something to cheer about."
United's disappointing league campaign saw them suffer 14 defeats and finish with a negative goal difference. However, Ten Hag believes that the team has the potential to bounce back and achieve success.
"We have a lot of work to do, but I am confident that we can turn things around," Ten Hag said. "We have a talented squad, and we are determined to make our fans proud."
