Manchester United had a bittersweet ending last season. Though they won the Carabao Cup, their first title since 2017, Erik ten Hag and his squad failed to conquer the Europa League, the FA Cup and suffered in the final stretch of the Premier League to clinch a berth for the 2023-204 Champions League.
