Read our privacy policy Erik ten Hag has told Manchester United that winning silverware is the best feeling in football and that it is time they ended their six-year trophy drought. United face Nottingham Forest in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday with Ten Hag determined the club win a major honour for the first time since the 2017 Europa League. Since then, United have lost two finals and four semi-finals while Ten Hag won six trophies with Ajax and now he sees the Carabao Cup as a potential springboard for further success. It is United’s first game at the City Ground since 1999, when Ten Hag’s predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored four times as a substitute in an 8-1 win.
