Former Manchester United captain Brian Robson believes the club needs to win the FA Cup this season to give fans hope and confidence that they are on the right track. On Friday, United will play Middlesbrough in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Manchester United are currently ranked fourth in the Premier League, 19 points behind league leaders Manchester City. West Ham United knocked him out of the Carabao Cup in the third round. As a result, the FA Cup is still their only chance to win the domestic trophy.
The Red Devils will take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 in Europe.
"For boys, the FA Cup is huge." This group of players needs to win something to gain their trust and confidence in each other. "They have to win something," Robson told The Mirror.
"That's why I said last season that winning the Europa League final was so important, because we kept reaching the semi-finals and then the final, but we still haven't crossed the finish line to win anything."
"When I think back to 1990 with Sir Alex, the first FA Cup and the first major trophy win, we all believed in each other, because we had a lot of young boys in the team at that time," he says. Huh.
Since Ralph Ragnik took over as interim manager, Manchester United's results have been good. Under the management of a former RB Leipzig coach, the Red Devils have lost only one of their last ten games in all competitions.
Middlesbrough's Riley McGree is unavailable due to self-isolation.
Even if Manchester United win the FA Cup, Ragnik is unlikely to become the club's permanent manager.

As a result, the former Tottenham manager could lose his job if PSG does not advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League. The 49-year-old's move to United could help.
