Ammon News - Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has warned his players not to become "lazy" and aim to add more titles after ending a six-year wait for a trophy with victory over Newcastle United in Sunday's League Cup final.

A Casemiro header and a Sven Botman own goal secured a 2-0 win at Wembley for United – the first trophy of Ten Hag's reign since taking over at Old Trafford at the start of the season.

United are still in the hunt for three more trophies – they sit third in the Premier League and are still in the FA Cup and Europa League – and the Dutchman said winning the Carabao Cup was an indicator the club are heading in the right direction.

"It shows something, silverware, that you are on a good pathway, you are in a good direction," said Ten Hag, who brought the trophy to his post-match press conference and almost forgot to take it with him afterwards.

“It is one cup and it is February, but it shows we are in the right direction. This has to be the inspiration, it has to be the motivation to keep going, to continue on this pathway and to improve.

“OK, be happy for 24 hours but not satisfied because satisfaction, that leads to laziness and when you become lazy, you don’t win any more games and you can’t win trophies.”
