Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed his displeasure with the depth of his squad after lifting the FA Cup trophy and hinted at the need for reinforcements in the summer window.

In the FA Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium, Ten Hag put three of the four most expensive signings on the bench, while the remaining one was withdrawn from the squad due to injury. It may be Casemiro's last game for Manchester United, but Ten Hag will need to get more out of Mason Mount, Antony and Hojlen if he is to avoid being sacked this summer. Although Ten Hag has won two titles in two seasons, his future remains uncertain.

Ten Hag says goals from youngsters Garnacho and Menou in the final helped the team to a shocking victory, and he had planned to have them play a key role in the squad from day one of pre-season. However, he also admits that the depth of the squad is "nowhere near good enough". 'Sometimes it's a matter of luck to develop young players, but that's our plan. We had plans to bring Garnacho and Menou into the first team last summer. ”

Ten Hag said: "Mainou suffered a serious injury just one minute into the second game of pre-season against Real Madrid. It was a huge blow to us, but ultimately it's great to see them recover so well. I'm very happy as the head coach and my coaching staff. "I'm very happy that they have the talent they need at the top level. We need more players like that because the depth of the squad is nowhere near enough. Ten Hag continued.

Ten Hag also cited the injury crisis as one of the reasons the team needed reinforcements in the summer transfer window, and hinted that the team needed some more "stronger" players than those who have been prone to injuries this season. 'We strengthen the squad through coaching and training from the coaching staff, but we also need the transfer window to bring in better players and players who can be fit on a regular basis, because if you don't fit enough, you can't win trophies,' said Ten Hag.

Ten Hag praised his side's performance in the win over Manchester City, saying it was United's best day of the season and the win also secured them a place in the Europa League next season. 'I really enjoyed the final, first of all to lift the trophy, but more importantly the way we played. You can see all of us – the coaching staff, the players – working together to develop and improve the team as a team. I'm very happy when you can play against the best team in the world and win at the highest level,' said Ten Hag.
