Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag vowed to win more trophies with the club after he forgot to take the Carabao Cup with him after a press conference. His Red Devils beat Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley on Sunday (February 26) to lift the League Cup.
Ten Hag is just nine months into his reign as United boss and has already led his team to a trophy. Casemiro’s 33rd-minute header and Sven Botman’s 39th-minute own goal were enough for the Red Devils to claim their first silverware since 2017.
The Dutch coach sat down with reporters after the game for a press conference and took the Carabao Cup trophy with him. However, after wrapping up questions from the media he hilariously forgot the cup when leaving.
A reporter reminded him and he shrugged his shoulders before emphatically claiming:
“I can leave it! Because next cup eh. This one is in.”

Ten Hag is already directing his focus toward the future despite a memorable day for Manchester United. The former Ajax boss is overseeing a magnificent season at Old Trafford.
They will now concentrate their efforts on winning the FA Cup and the Europa League and are even outside challengers for the Premier League title. The Red Devils face West Ham United in the 5th round of the FA Cup on Wednesday (March 1). Ten Hag’s side also take on Real Betis in the last 16 of the Europa League following an incredible 4-3 aggregate win over Barcelona.
Manchester United trail league leaders Arsenal by eight points, a title push may be a bit of an ask. However, his side’s Carabao Cup may just be the start of a new era at Old Trafford under Ten Hag.
