Man Utd boss Ten Hag: FA Cup final defeat must be used as motivation

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says they must use the FA Cup final defeat as "fuel".

United lost 2-1 to Manchester City at Wembley.

Ten Hag later said, "First of all, we show respect always. Of course it is a motivation: you have to feel in your stomach that it hurts and it has to be fuel. We want to be there, my team – my players deserve it and we have to grab it. That is the next step we have to make.

"I said to the players, I was very proud of my team, not only today, but today, especially how they fought, how they stuck together, how they were disciplined in the defending organisation. That was brilliant."
