The FA Cup is the only trophy ten Hag's charges are hoping to win, having been bundled out of the Champions League in the group stages as well as the Carabao Cup, which was recently won by Liverpool.

United have also endured their fair share of struggles in the Premier League, as they currently face an uphill task in their hope of sealing a Champions League spot.
