ERIK TEN HAG struggled to hide his shock at the beginning of his press conference as the usually cool boss lost his composure.
The Dutchman is looking forward to another trip to Wembley as United prepare to take on Brighton tomorrow.

But they go into the game having been run ragged on Thursday night in the Europa League.
Ten Hag prepared to field questions on how his team would bounce back as his press officer introduced the press conference.
As eager journalists got ready to stick their hands in the air, the United boss took a sip of water and went to adjust his microphone.
But it all went wrong as the mic dropped from its stand and clattered against the press conference table.
A staggered Ten Hag rushed to pop the microphone back into its stand and puffed his cheeks out as he put it back together.
A couple of reporters can be heard laughing as the football manager sheepishly tells his press officer to “continue” with his introduction.
It was a rare moment of clumsiness from the usually ice cold ten Hag and fans were loving it.
One compared his shock and unpreparedness to being “just like the team against Sevilla.”

While focusing on the coach’s awkward handling of the mic, another fan joked: “About as good as [David] De Gea.”
And another supporter said: “A visual representation of our form at the moment.”
Once the presser got underway, ten Hag was his usual disciplined, clinical self and had a message for his faltering United stars.
