United travel to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday for the first leg of the English League Cup semifinals, looking to end a run of nearly six years without silverware.

바카라It바카라s a period when Manchester United didn바카라t win any trophies and it바카라s too long ago, so we are aware of that fact. We have to do everything to bring a trophy in,바카라 Ten Hag said at a news conference on Tuesday.

The late 3-2 loss against Arsenal on Sunday was a blow to United바카라s unlikely Premier League title aspirations, prompting Ten Hag to criticize his team for the nature of the goals it conceded, saying, 바카라if you want to win trophies, titles, we have to change our mentality.바카라

The defeat left United 11 points behind Arsenal, having played a game more, and now looking at Champions League qualification as the priority.

United바카라s last trophies came in 2017 when Jose Mourinho바카라s team lifted the League Cup and Europa League in his first season in charge to spark hope of a new period of success.

That never materialized, with Mourinho and then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fired for failing to add more silverware.

Now Ten Hag is the latest manager to be charged with the responsibility of restoring United to its former glories.

United has won 20 league titles 바카라 more than any other English team 바카라 three Champions Leagues and a host of other major trophies.

However, its fans have had to watch as fierce rivals Manchester City and Liverpool have dominated since the retirement its most successful manager, Alex Ferguson, in 2013.

There is growing hope Ten Hag will revive United바카라s fortunes 바카라 but the loss to Arsenal was a reminder that his team is still a work in progress.

After winning three Dutch titles with Ajax, he can get his United career off to a flying start if he lifts a trophy in his first season.

바카라It was the best feeling what you can have, winning a trophy. I had the luck in my career to win some trophies and it was magnificent, especially for the fans. It바카라s so great,바카라 he said. 바카라The fans here, they have some experience, especially the older fans.바카라

United바카라s fall is nothing compared to Forest, which went from being back-to-back European champions in 1979 and 바카라80 to playing in the third tier of English soccer.

Forest바카라s return to the Premier League this season came after a period of 23 years out of the top flight.

Staying up was the main ambition for the midlands club, but a Wembley final is now in sight if it can beat United over two legs.

Forest has won the trophy on four occasions and most recently in 1990.

바카라I바카라ve said from the moment I walked in (in September 2021), you can바카라t get away from the history of this club, and you shouldn바카라t,바카라 said manager Steve Cooper. 바카라So embrace it, represent it as best you can, but in a modern way, in a way that we바카라re trying to look forward, trying to create new eras, positive eras, new moments.바카라
