Roy Keane jokingly told Erik ten Hag that he “should resign” after Man Utd beat Newcastle 2-0 on Sunday to win the Carabao Cup.
The Red Devils emerged victorious at Wembley thanks to goals from Casemiro and Marcus Rashford and Ten Hag now has something to show for his brilliant start as Man Utd boss.
Ten Hag has injected life into the Man Utd squad and fanbase with the Red Devils still competing on another three fronts after sealing their Carabao Cup triumph.
United have an outside chance of beating Arsenal and Man City to the Premier League title, while they are still in both the FA Cup and Europa League.
Not only have players like Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez changed the dynamics of the squad but Ten Hag has improved a number of players.
Some of the celebrations after the victory at Wembley involved Ten Hag dancing with Martinez and Brazil winger Antony, which prompted Keane to say: “You should resign after that”.

“In the Netherlands I played two cup finals, lost both of them,” the 30-year-old said. “This was the third time.
“Of course that’s something special and of course you put in all the hard work, hard effort to get really something in your head.
“So, yeah, also for me it’s personal and it’s really nice to win a trophy.”
Weghorst continued: “I just took a moment (after the match). I can do really tough or I can do really cool but, yeah, for me this is a childhood dream.
