Erik ten Hag was not impressed at the suggestion Manchester United need to find consistency, pointing out that his team has lost just once in 2024 so far.
The Red Devils booked their spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals thanks to a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.
It was a bright start to the game but the contest then went downhill somewhat and was quite drab for the majority of it before a late Casemiro goal made the difference.
The victory saw Manchester United bounce back from a very disappointing 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Old Trafford on Saturday, and set-up a blockbuster meeting with Liverpool in the last eight.
Ten Hag’s men have now won seven of their last eight matches and, despite accepting that the Fulham performance was poor, the Dutchman does not accept that his side are inconsistent.
‘We were consistent,’ he told the BBC. ‘We lost one time in 2024 so we are consistent. But it’s not so easy when you have the whole backline, you have to shuffle and play players in different positions.
‘I’m very proud we did it, we managed it. Every win is important but we take it, 24 hours and then we move on.’
