Wout Weghorst says Manchester United are targeting a quadruple after Sunday’s Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle. Erik ten Hag’s side are in the Europa League last 16, the FA Cup fifth round and eight points behind Arsenal in the Premier League with 14 games left.
The triumph at Wembley was a first trophy for Weghorst, whose run and pass created Marcus Rashford’s goal in a 2-0 win. The 30-year-old, who joined on loan from Burnley in January, stated ambitions to claim every competition this season in an unprecedented clean sweep. “We win the first one now and still have three to go so, yeah, hungry for more,” he said. “Hungry for more definitely.
It’s three left now. First one is in and first we have to stand still and enjoy it. But afterwards of course three to go. We have everything in our own hands so let’s go.” United play at home to West Ham on Wednesday in the FA Cup and start their Europa League tie against Real Betis the following Thursday.
In between they face Liverpool at Anfield. Weghorst had been on loan at Besiktas for the first half of the season and has previously also played for Wolfsburg, AZ and Heracles without securing a trophy. “It’s a great feeling,” he said. “For me not being here too long but for the club it’s a long time ago we won silverware.
