Manchester United will hope for a strong end to the season and more silverware for the trophy cabinet but attention is already turning to the summer and what comes next.
Erik ten Hag has shown he's capable of turning United back into a force again, having lifted the Carabao Cup already this term, while the FA Cup and Europa League remain realistic targets.
