Ten Hag seemed valiant in his desire to help Manchester United win yet another trophy this weekend, following the Carabao Cup success last season.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference yesterday, the Dutchman insisted he will fight until the very end.
"I came here to win trophies," he told reporters at Carrington. "Saturday I have the next opportunity and we achieved this. We earned this opportunity as a team and now we have to go for it.
"At the same time in the last two years, of course every season you review it and then we will see where we are in the project and the things that we have to change.
"We spoke lately about it. Underneath there are very good things, players coming up and players developing, values coming up and at the same time we have on Saturday a big opportunity to win the next trophy.
"The FA Cup final is a big event and we are there, even when the season is not going our way we are there. We have an opportunity and it's never been easy, but we have to go for it and we will go for it.
"We have to believe as we did last season, as we have done often against good opponents, we play our best football and I expect that again on Saturday."
