Coach Erik ten Hag, midfielder Lisandro Martinez and midfielder Antony danced to celebrate Man Utd winning the English League Cup at Wembley on the evening of February 26.

A few minutes after the end, Ten Hag's teachers and students walked around Wembley Stadium to share the joy with the fans. When he reached a corner of the stands, Ten Hag put his arm around Martinez's shoulder and approached Antony. The three of them danced and shook their hips for a few seconds, then laughed and put their arms around each other. At that time, Martinez and Antony wore the Argentine and Brazilian flags, respectively. At the same time, the audience cheered and applauded the three teachers and students.

Last season, the three teachers and students all worked at Ajax, and celebrated the same dance in the dressing room after this club won the Dutch championship. After leading Man Utd in the summer of 2022, Ten Hag convinced the team to recruit Martinez and Antony.

In an interview on the pitch a few minutes later, former midfielder Roy Keane joked with Ten Hag: "You should resign after that dance. Resign now."

In response, the Dutch coach laughed and said "never", then explained further: "I've done that before. The three of us have already done it, and hopefully we can dance together many more times. ".

Ten Hag spent a lot of time with former students at Ajax, during the coronation of Man Utd on the evening of February 26. When the team was awarded the cup at Wembley, the 53-year-old coach also stood next to Antony and with this player lifted the final cup.

After Man Utd entered the tunnel, former coach Alex Ferguson was also waiting to hug and congratulate junior Ten Hag. The Dutch coach invited Ferguson into the dressing room to enjoy the atmosphere of Man Utd's victory in the League Cup. "He was really happy," Ten Hag said of Ferguson.

Ten Hag has helped Man Utd end 2,104 days of nothing, since winning the Europa League in 2017. The team still has a chance to win more titles this season, when they are still playing in the English Premier League, Europa League and FA Cup. . "We'll be drinking champagne today, but only the coaching staff is allowed," said Ten Hag. "The players have to recuperate because we have an important game on Wednesday night."

The important match that Ten Hag mentioned was the fifth round of the FA Cup against West Ham at Old Trafford on the evening of March 1.
