A semi-final date with Coventry now awaits as Ten Hag’s side remained in the hunt for silverware.

Praise was heaped on Ten Hag after his four tactical changes – including Bruno Fernandes going to centre-half and the angry Antony at left-back – inspired the comeback.

After the drama subsided and the Dutchman had departed Old Trafford, there were scenes of delight, but he was eager to celebrate in his own manner.

On Sunday night, he was seen out at the Italian eatery Piccolino in Cheshire, accompanied by his agent Kees Vos and other members of his management group.

He enjoyed a three-hour meal and looked in good spirits just hours after his side beat Liverpool in the FA Cup

Ten Hag has been a regular at the restaurant ever since he took over in the summer of 2022.

And he has not only found comfort there in victory.

The ex-Ajax boss went there after he suffered defeat in his first match in charge against Brighton.
