United weren’t just underdogs for this game. Considering the whole narrative, they were perhaps less fancied than Coventry City when they played United in the semifinal.
Ultimately, Ten Hag and his squad will feel vindicated about their messages that this is a good team when players are available.
After all, vindication doesn’t come much better than stopping a 74-game unbeaten juggernaut!
