Midweek, they host Newcastle in the League Cup, the repeat of the final last year. This
00:08
now maybe becomes a big game for them. They're at home, they've won this trophy last season,
00:14
they're going to want to do it again, a lot of the fans. Because they're thinking if it
00:18
is the only trophy we win, at least we win a trophy. But it's now become a huge game
00:23
because we are debating this, whether Tenhall's coaching correctly, whether it's coming from
00:28
the top down. But at the end of the day, they've got a big game coming up and the atmosphere
00:33
at Old Trafford could definitely switch sides and go the other way. What are your thoughts
00:38
looking ahead to Wednesday?
00:40
Yeah, I think what you've said is spot on there. It's suddenly become a big game. They're
00:47
not going to win the Champions League. I think they've got a bit of hope if they drop down
00:53
in the Europa League of winning the trophy, maybe if things get better. But the Carabao
00:59
Cup at the moment looks certainly like the best opportunity to win a trophy, especially
01:02
when you consider that Man City aren't in it. Off the top of my head, Liverpool are
01:07
definitely still in it, I think Arsenal are still in it, Spurs are out on it as well.
01:12
So I mean, that's kind of a couple of the big boys already out. So yeah, I think it's
01:15
definitely one they should go for. At the same time, they're struggling with injuries,
01:19
United, and probably could do with rotating and keeping everyone fresh and in kind of
01:24
optimal conditioning at the moment, especially when you consider they've got a big Champions
01:29
League game next week as well that they won't be able to rest players for. But Ten Hag actually,
01:35
I mean, by and large in his first season, didn't particularly rotate all that much.
01:40
He did make a couple of changes for the Carabao Cup game the last time out against Palace.
01:44
But yeah, it's a big game. And Newcastle have a couple of injuries at the moment. And I
01:49
suppose they're in a somewhat similar position from United in that they'll see this is the
01:53
best opportunity of winning silverware, but will also want to rotate. Although they aren't
01:57
kind of playing with the baggage that United are at the moment. So yeah, listen, I think
02:02
both teams will make changes for it. And yeah, these games are kind of difficult to totally
02:08
call just because, you know, it's not the full strength sides that are going to be put
02:12
out. But it wouldn't be surprising if United get through purely based on the fact that
02:15
Newcastle are probably rest players. But it would be another difficult night. If United
02:20
were to lose, it would, as you say, very quickly change. And that negative atmosphere would
02:24
just continue to build around Ten Hag and the team.
