Man United will have a predicted “less good, more bad” away trip to Tottenham in the quarter-finals of the English League Cup. After the favorite teams such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle all won, Manucians expect their favorite team to have a similar achievement and even better, the first title of the new season.
They have reason to believe as Man United just had an incredible comeback against the “noisy neighbor”. This victory not only helped Ruben Amorim affirm his talent, but also gave the players more confidence in the later stages of the season.
Erik Ten Hag's first trophy at Old Trafford was the League Cup. Jose Mourinho won the same trophy in his first season in charge. However, both have ended in unexpected ways and Ruben Amorim needs to look at this and learn a lesson for himself.
At this time, the Red Devils cannot return to their past position, but the winning mentality is gradually being built. Pillars such as Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire or promising young talents Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund are gradually regaining stable form and having many convincing performances.
However, it is unrealistic to expect a title when Amorim has only just moved to Old Trafford in November. The 39-year-old strategist also constantly reminds fans to be patient and the priority is still to build a solid philosophy at Man United.
As for Tottenham, coach Ange Postecoglou has always won the title in his second season. All the fans of this team hope that this achievement will be repeated after a long period of drought. But before thinking about the League Cup title, Spurs need to defeat the tough opponent named Man United.
