Erik ten Hag reveals Man Utd stars’ dressing-room talk he overheard ‘pleased him the most’ after Carabao Cup final win
ERIK TEN HAG has revealed that a dressing-room conversation he overheard was the most pleasing thing from Wembley.
The Dutchman claimed his first piece of silverware at Manchester United on Sunday with the Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle.

That ended a six-year trophy drought but Ten Hag and his players are still not satisfied.
They face Real Betis next in the Europa League and are still in the Premier League title race.
United set-up an FA Cup quarter-final clash with Fulham after coming from a goal down to beat West Ham 3-1 last night.
And Ten Hag insisted that his players are “not happy” with just that piece of silverware in his matchday programme notes on Wednesday as he let slip what he had heard his stars talking about after the cup final.
He said: “l am delighted that we have our first trophy together, but all our efforts now must be on making sure that it is not the last.
“Now that we all have a taste of success together, the aim is to make sure it is on the menu again soon.
“What perhaps pleased me the most on Sunday was to see and hear all the players saying the same thing in the dressing room: they are not happy to ease up now that they have won a trophy and they are more determined than ever to keep winning more and more.”
Meanwhile, United could reportedly sell SEVEN players in the summer if the Glazers stay and force Ten Hag to raise funds.

The Red Devils’ ownership situation remains unclear amid months of speculation.
The Glazers opened the door to selling the club earlier this season and have attracted interest from Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
However, there is still a fear among some Man Utd fans that their despised bosses will decide to stick around.
If that does happen, Ten Hag will likely be made to offload players in order to fund any new deals.
