Erik ten Hag celebrated Manchester United’s tҺrilling FA Cup victory over Liverpool by dining at his favorite Italian restaurant. After witnessing United’s 4-3 victory at Old Trafford, Ten Hag, accompanied by his agent Kees Vos and other members of his management team, spent approximately three hours at Piccolino in Cheshire. He was seen leaving the restaurant in high spirits, ready to head home after dinner.
The victory secured United a spot in the semi-finals, where they are set to face Coventry as they continue their pursuit of silverware. The match against Liverpool was filled with excitement and drаmа, with Scott McTominay providing an early lead for United, only for Liverpool to take the lead through goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mo Salah. A late goal from substitute Antony sent the game into extra time, but Liverpool regained the lead with a deflected effort from Harvey Elliott. However, Marcus Rashford struck late to equalize, and it was the suρer-sub Amad Diallo who ultimately secured the win for United with a goal in the closing seconds of the match.
Ten Hag’s tactical changes during the game, including moving Bruno Fernandes to center-half and deploying Antony at left-back, were praised for their impact on the team’s comeback. Following the tҺrilling match, the Dutchman headed to Piccolino to celebrate with his team. This is not the first time Ten Hag has visited the restaurant; he has been a regular patron since taking charge of Manchester United in the summer of 2022. Whether in victory or defeat, the Italian establishment has become a place of comfort and celebration for the former Ajax boss.
