The Dutchman lead his team to a 2-0 win over Newcastle United to win the Carabao Cup.

“Thereโs such a very good spirit in the team.”
“Raphael Varane, Casemiro, David de Gea, they know how to win trophies.”
“You need such lads on the pitch to coach the team, to organise the team, and not only from a tactical perspective but also mental perspective.”
“They have to bring the winning attitude in the dressing room in difficult situations. That is what they did again.”
