Video: Casemiro 'saves' Erik ten Hag to set Manchester United vs Liverpool showdown in FA Cup
Erik ten Hag was on the brink of being fired during the match between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup. However, Casemiro rescued him just before the anticipated derby against Manchester City.
Erik ten Hag owns dinner to Casemiro. This Wednesday, during a thriller as part of the fifth round in the FA Cup, Manchester United were against the ropes facing Nottingham Forest.
The Red Devils are in the middle of another disappointing season with no chances to win the Premier League and an early elimination in the Champions League.
That’s why, the FA Cup is the only hope for Manchester United to lift a trophy in the 2023-2024 season and, of course, clinch a berth for European competitions regardless of the standings.

In a tremendous matchup, Erik ten Hag’s team will face Liverpool in the next round. A classic during the farewell tour for coach Jürgen Klopp.
