WHAT HAPPENED? The Red Devils are preparing to face their old adversaries with momentum continuing to build behind them. They have also got their hands on the Carabao Cup – bringing a six-year wait for major silverware to a close – and could land a further three trophies before the end of the season. Everybody will be required to aid that quest, with Sancho and Shaw ready to rejoin the fold after sitting out a 3-1 win over West Ham in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
WHAT THEY SAID: Ten Hag told reporters when asked for an update on his squad ahead of a trip to Anfield: “I think we will have players back. Yesterday [against West Ham] Luke Shaw was not available, so we expect him back. [Jadon] Sancho was ill, but we will have to wait and see how that develops but I think he could be [available] as well."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ten Hag helped to inspire victory over West Ham by ripping into his players at half-time, and the Dutchman says there will be more passionate team talks to come if he sees collective standards slipping. He added on being prepared to lose his temper: “What I say was we are not playing [to] our standards, that is what I saw in the first half. So then I will be tough to my team, to my players, because I demand a performance. Every day I demand a performance and I don't accept when it's lower. I will criticise them and I will tell them what I expect, and I have to give the team solutions for how to win the game, and I think the performance in the second half was much better.”
