Ten Hag: Winning FA Cup would be an over-achievement for Manchester United
Erik ten Hag claims Manchester United will have over-achieved if they win the FA Cup this season. Ten Hag and his team have faced criticism after edging past Championship side Coventry on penalties in the semi-finals, having been 3-0 up with 20 minutes to go. They will take on Manchester City in a repeat of last year's final hoping to exact revenge and, despite their league struggles, Ten Hag was bullish about what that would mean. United could miss out on European football altogether, but the Red Devils boss believes the club's struggles with injury this campaign are a major mitigating factor. "I would say it's over-performing with all the problems we have had," said the Dutchman of the possibility of silverware. "Getting into the final is already a big achievement, but we are here for trophies. We have an opportunity to win a trophy and that is good. But we are not satisfied by being in the final, we want to win it and that is what we will go for and it's our mentality. "That is why we are successful. That's why I am successful over 10 years as a manager, I always bring out the maximum of each squad."
