On Sunday, Erik ten Hag led The Red Devils to a 2-0 win against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final. It led to the end of the club’s longest trophy drought in 40 years.
Casemiro and Marcus Rashford scored first-half goals to lead the club to their first silverware since 2017 when Josè Mourinho led United to the Europa League trophy.
Manchester United are still competing in the Europa League and FA Cup, with the possibility of them winning the Premier League title. The English Club have had incredible form these past weeks, leaving them eight points behind table-toppers Arsenal.
Though, Fred appeared to accept talks of a title challenge, as he insisted United was the team with the determination.
Fred On United’s Title Challenge
During an interview with TNT Brazil/ESPN, Fred insisted United can defeat Arsenal and Man City for the Premier League title.
The Brazilian said: “We know Arsenal and Manchester City are great teams, but we have our means to fight for it [the Premier League].
“Our momentum is excellent, so why not? We have three competitions left and will fight for each one of them.
“We are excited today, it is my fifth season here, and this title means a lot to me and the club’s way back to the top.”
“We have a lot to fight for this season yet.”
Arsenal is leading the Premier League title race, with two points clear of reigning champions City while having a game in hand.
After Man United’s victory on Sunday, Ten Hag vowed their Carabao Cup success was just the start.
The Dutchman said: “It shows something, silverware, that you are on the right pathway, a good direction. It is one cup, it’s February, but it shows we are on the right path. It has to be the motivation to continue on this pathway. Be happy for 24 hours but not satisfied.
“You have to celebrate because it is not business as usual. It is not a regular day. We won a trophy, and this means something. That is the feeling I get here in the UK. We won something, and we have to celebrate that.
“But, after you, they have to keep going. The players know we have a big game on Wednesday. First, we have to win the first one [trophy]. That is what we did today. I think we get a lot of inspiration from this and more confident that we can do it.”
” We are still at the start to restore Manchester United to where we belong, that is winning trophies. It is the first one.”
It is unlikely for United to overtake either Arsenal or Man City with their recent form to win their first league title since 2013 this season.
