Ten Hag should have torn Cup flops to shreds like Fergie 

- DAVID McDONNELL

GORY GLORY MAN UNITED

ERIK ten Hag should have followed the example of his most illustrious predecessor at Manchester United after Sunday’s lamentable penalty shootout win over Coventry. 

Rather than heralding his side’s “huge achievement” at reaching a second straight FA Cup final – after blowing a 3-0 lead with 20 minutes to go and receiving a VAR let-off in the final minute of extra time – Ten Hag should have borrowed from former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

After his Aberdeen side beat Rangers 1-0 in extra time to win the Scottish Cup in 1983, a scowling Ferguson refused to praise his players, choosing instead to berate them for what he saw as a betrayal of the standards he had set.

“We’re the luckiest team in the world,” growled Ferguson in a memorable post-match interview, the clip resurfacing on social media in the wake of United’s implosion against Coventry.
