Writing in his exclusive column for our matchday programme, United Review, the Dutchman delivers a proud and passionate explanation of just how crucial Old Trafford’s support can be in helping the Reds to reach Wembley.
United have not lost a home FA Cup game against Liverpool for over 100 years, and Ten Hag also defeated Jurgen Klopp’s team the last time they visited M16, in August 2022.
The Merseysiders might head into the match as the bookies’ favourites, due to their impressive form in 2023/24, but Erik says the odds can be overturned if we are at our best, both on and off the pitch.
With that in mind, supporters are being encouraged to get there early, in order to start singing and begin building a big atmosphere. Look out for a surfer flag that will be unfurled across the Stretford End ahead of kick-off, as the players walk onto the pitch.
