Erik ten Hag sets out transfer demands after Manchester United FA Cup win

Erik ten Hag slammed the depth in his Manchester United squad as he laid out his case for summer additions if he remains in charge at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman fielded three of his four most expensive signings on the bench against Manchester City at Wembley, with the final member of that quartet also initially among the replacements before withdrawing as a result of injury.

That might have been Casemiro's final act as a United player but Ten Hag will need to get more from Mason Mount, Antony and Rasmus Hojlund if he avoids the sack this summer. His future remains uncertain despite making it two trophies in two seasons with the FA Cup triumph.

Teenagers Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scored the goals that secured a shock win for United and Ten Hag said he had planned from day one of pre-season for both to play a prominent role this season, before then saying the depth in his squad was "by far not good enough".

"Sometimes it comes by luck that you develop a young player but it was a plan. We planned last summer to bring in Garnacho in the team and also Kobbie Mainoo," he said.

"He [Mainoo] took a very bad injury in the second game of pre-season against Real Madrid after one minute. That was the first setback and a huge setback for him and the team but in the end we are so happy that we have seen this well, me as a manager with my coaching staff.

"I am very happy because they have potential to meet the standards you need for absolutely top football and we need more from such players because the depth in the squad is by far not good enough."
