Ten Hag did guide the club to a third place finish last season, and he ended the club’s half-decade trophy drought. That came with a win over Newcastle United in the League Cup final last term. Speaking of, the rematch between the two sides, in the same competition, is set to commence in a couple hours.
But this time it takes place in the fourth round.
