Erik ten Hag won a second trophy as Man Utd manager after a stunning Wembley win against Man City in the FA Cup final.
Fifteen months ago Erik ten Hag danced with Lisandro Martinez on the Wembley pitch. This time their celebrations were more guttural.
It was a fitting moment to a season played under a cloud. Whether or not it is enough to save Ten Hag is another matter. His weekend began with more stories forecasting the end of his Old Trafford reign and although it ended with a trophy, it doesn't offer any guarantees.In the Royal Box, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Joel and Avram Glazer watched on with glee. Ratcliffe has finally seen the team he now controls win a game in 90 minutes.
This was Ten Hag's fifth Wembley date with United and in every one they have had the same dressing room and the same end. Ten Hag has stood in the same technical area for the highs and the lows. After spending all of this season with a gap between defence and attack akin to the Grand Canyon, Ten Hag finally decided to close the space. It is the centre of the pitch where United have been exposed but under the arch, they were more compact. Out of possession, there was rarely more than 15 yards between the three lines and City were suffocated and stifled. Maybe Ten Hag was writing "should have done this sooner.
If the first goal owed something to a stroke of luck, with Stefan Ortega and Josko Gvardiol laying it on a plate for Alejandro Garnacho, the second was a stunning team move. The switch of play from one wing to the other and the calmness of Fernandes to lay on the finish for Kobbie Mainoo, who was adding numbers to the attack, was exactly what Ten Hag wants from his team.
