Manchester United equalled wins to losses in the Premier League on Saturday. Erik Ten Hag’s men are on winning terms again after a setback just before the international break. The Red Devils beat Southampton 3-0 on their visit as Mathijs De Ligt opened the scoring and his account for the club. Trying to keep the momentum, United will move to the Carabao Cup as they face Barnsley on Tuesday.
Erik Ten Hag believes the Carabao Cup is a fierce competition
Ten Hag has taken time to address his views on the Carabao Cup. Addressing the media before the visit, The Dutchman said:
“I wouldn’t say it’s insignificant. I see the attention from all the teams, owners, managers when they win the trophies like Liverpool did last year. I see all the teams battling for it. We want the same. In football winning trophies is very important”
This describes his clear intent of aiming for the sky after some fingers pointed at him in the past month. However, it’s getting tougher each passing day to believe his words.
With nothing major to show in his reign and the constant inconsistency in the Premier League, the Red Manchester is thin on patience. While you can see bright times it hushes down where it matters. With the squad shifting faster than their shoulder drops on the pitch, we can’t blame the fingers pointed.

It’ll be important for Ten Hag to implement and believe in his players and tactics. Bringing his new signing to settle and blend them with their seasoned players is a sign of a great manager. With the talks of his exit doors knocking on him more than ever, he still has a top squad serving for him. It is no secret a team that challenges for big game titles is an established regiment. Nothing that brings you glory can be achieved overnight.
