It was a moment they will never forget, and the United manager hopes it can spur the next generation on to future success with the club.

Asked what his message to the youngsters was, he told club media: “First of all, they have taken part in it because they deserve to be there but also the message is that they get the experience, how it is, and in the previous question you asked me, I said about sacrificing and suffering.

"When you celebrate, you forget everything. That is the best feeling you can have so they have to get in that attitude to collect trophies, to be in that winning approach, you have to do a lot, invest a lot, give everything, every day, to collect that.”

The previous question that Ten Hag alludes to was a tribute to Casemiro who followed up his Man of the Match display in the final by being named in the FIFPro Team of the Year a day later.

Asked about his winning mentality and how he has impacted the team, Ten Hag added: "It’s part [of football] if you want to be successful and if you want to be successful, it demands a lot, that demands a lot of high standards and a lot of determination. It demands always sacrificing and suffering. It’s not going without
