Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has warned his players of "do or die" Cup football.

United go to Wigan on Monday for the Third Round of the FA Cup.

Ten Hag said: "We've had a very tough programme in 2023. I think one of the toughest schedules from all the clubs across Europe, we played so many games, so we have to take time to be refreshed and get ready for the second half of the season.

"We have a lot to play for with the Premier League and FA Cup. In the cup, it's always about do or die. We have to be ready because our opponent will be always 100 per cent especially playing in a cup against Manchester United.

"We must be prepared and just like the expectations for every game, we have to win. It doesn't matter whether we are away or home, we have to win games. Every game and league is different.

"One thing is always the same: you must be ready, have the right approach and focus and find a way to win. I admire cup football. It will be a great game, the crowd will be hostile, so enjoy it and be ready."
