Manchester United has been criticized for going four seasons without winning a trophy. Erik ten Hag has something to cheer about after the team won a “Titanic” trophy in pre-season.
The Red Devils went head-to-head with Liverpool during pre-season in Thailand. On the day, Manchester United sealed a 4-0 victory against Liverpool, courtesy to goals by Sancho, Pellistri, Martial and Fred.
After full-time whistle, Manchester United players were presented with a huge “Titanic” shape trophy.
Images of ten Hag and Bruno Fernandes circulated on social media. The pair were pictured smilling while holding a big trophy in Thailand.
According to The Peoples Person, ten Hag said: “Of course, we are satisfied because it was a team with great spirit, but we’ve just started.”
“Our team was brave and proactive. We made some mistakes with pressing but created a lot.”
The boss added that: “I know we have good players. Believe me I have seen a lot of mistakes, it will take a lot of time. We have not overestimated this result”.
“I think we have a lot of creativity and speed in front”.
This was the first trophy for the boss since he arrived at Manchester United.
