Man Utd boss Ten Hag makes clear his thoughts on Quadruple

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is adamant talk of the Quadruple won't become a distraction.

United, who will resume their Premier League campaign with a trip to Anfield to face rivals Liverpool on Sunday, clinched their first trophy of the Ten Hag era last weekend, beating Newcastle United 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. They followed up their victory over the Magpies with a 3-1 win over West Ham United in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.

The Reds are still competing in the Europa League and face Real Betis in the first leg of their last-16 showdown next week.

"We are not talking about that, we are talking about the next game [vs Liverpool] and it is a big game," Ten Hag told Sky Sports, addressing any hopes the club might have of clinching a famous quadruple. "It is a good game and we are really excited to play this game."

The Dutchman added: "That is for dreamers [talk of winning a quadruple], that is for fans. It is nice but it is not for us [to think about] and the players know that, they are so experienced they don't get distracted from beautiful dreams.

"Maybe you can dream but we don't."
