That was the headline-stealing vow made by Erik ten Hag as he was unveiled as Manchester United manager in the summer of 2022. United finished eight points ahead of Liverpool, who failed to qualify for the Champions League and looked well-positioned to start hunting down City. The Red Devils, ravaged by injuries and off-field controversy, view the FA Cup as their final hope of silverware. The defence of the Carabao Cup ended at the second hurdle with a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United at Old Trafford in a rematch of last February's final. United's Champions League campaign went even worse, winning just one of their six Group A games to finish rock bottom and crash out of Europe entirely.
