HAPPY DAYS: Inside the MOST MEMORABLE celebrations in Man Utd’s dressing room as Ten Hag is drenched in champagne and the stars taunt Carling after the FA Cup final.
Erik TEN HAG was doused in champagne after Manchester United won the FA Cup, while other stars drank Carling.
The Red Devils beat Man City 2-1 on Saturday, winning their second trophy in as many years and getting back at their foes for losing to them last season.

When Erik ten Hag met with the reporters after the game, he was in a defiant mood. He said he’d “go somewhere else to win trophies” if Sir Jim Ratcliffe fired him.
But he was beaming with happiness when he went back to his players in the locker room to join in the party.
When Lisandro Martinez, who also played for Ajax under Ten Hag, opened a bottle of champagne and poured it all over the coach.
As Ten Hag walked across the room, United’s players cheered. The FA Cup trophy was in the middle of the floor, taking center stage.
And the champagne kept coming out while United posed for group shots.
After the game, each player celebrated on their own. Victor Lindelof drank a Carling while wearing his winner’s medal.
Mason Mount took a bite out of his to be sure it wasn’t made of chocolate.
The cup was held by Raphael Varane, Diogo Dalot, and Sofyan Amrabat. Varane is leaving United this summer.
After a while, veterans Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton got the prize. Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund then joined them.

The Dane looked to be particularly enjoying himself as he clasped an open bottle of bubbly.
Finally, goal scorers Garnacho and Mainoo took a seat together before showing off the trophy, with both men all smiles knowing it was their strikes that sealed glory.
Ten Hag will be hoping the game is not his last amid rumours that United are looking at Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel, Kieran McKenna and Thomas Frank.
When asked about his future, Ten Hag said: “Two trophies in two seasons and three finals. That’s not bad.
“If they don’t want me any more I go somewhere else to win trophies. That is what I do.”
He added: “I am here to win and I want to build a team. My whole managerial career I have won games and trophies.”
As for the success he has brought to Old Trafford compared to those before him, he said: “When you see the last decade, there were not so many finals and trophies for this club.”
