Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag gave an impassioned speech to fans at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, admitting it has been "not an easy season".
The Red Devils beat Newcastle 3-2 in their final home game of the season to keep their hopes of promotion to Europe through the Premier League alive. Manchester United are eighth in the table but are now level on points and Newcastle are on the verge of reaching the final, while they also face another FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Ten Hag's future has been questioned as United are on the verge of their worst Premier League era or their worst joint result, but in a speech after seeing Newcastle United, he thanked the fans for their unwavering support throughout the year.
Ten Hag began: "On behalf of the players, the staff and myself, I would like to thank everyone for their support this season. ”。“ As you know, it's not an easy season, but one thing remains constant, and that's the support you give to the team. But the season isn't over yet. First of all, we have to go to Brighton, where we have to get the three points, and then we have to go to Wembley. ”。
"I assure you that these players will give everything to get the trophy and bring it to Old Trafford. We are confident that you will be there to support us. ”。“ Thank you, you are the best supporters in the world. ”
Manchester United will have to get better on the final day of the Premier League season if they are to qualify for at least the league league, with Ten Hag's side heading to Brighton and the Magpies heading to Brentford. However, if Manchester United win the FA Cup next weekend, they will be in the Europa League, regardless of the league result.
