Dancing Ten Hag: I hope this is just start of the party

ERIK TEN HAG danced with delight on the Wembley pitch after winning his first trophy as Manchester United manager and then vowed to make history at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag explained that his victory jig with United players Lisandro Martinez and Antony is a tradition dating back to their time together at Ajax.

‘We have a history, Licha and Antony, in Amsterdam and we did some dancing. I hope we can do even more in the future but therefore we have to invest and sacrifice every day to win trophies.

‘You have to celebrate. It is not business as usual, it is not a common day. We won a trophy and this trophy means something.

‘That is the feeling I get here and we have won something. We have to celebrate but after that point you have to keep going because this cup can be the inspiration to get even more.’ When Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane joked that Ten Hag should resign over his dance routine, the Dutchman replied: ‘Never, I hope we can do it more!’ Ten Hag agreed that winning at Wembley justified his decision to leave a successful set-up with Ajax and move to Old Trafford 10 months ago. ‘Maybe it was a risk but I just love United,’ he added. ‘So when I see our shirts, the boundary with the fans, when I see Old Trafford, the legacy like Sir Alex left, so many big players were developed in a United shirt and we want to do the same. ‘This team wants to make its own history and when this opportunity came I thought it was the right club for me, I want to be part of it. ‘It is one cup and it is February but it shows we are in the right direction. It has to be the inspiration to keep going and be happy for 24 hours, but not satisfied because satisfaction leads to laziness and then you don’t win trophies.’
