Former Liverpool star Luis Garcia claims Manchester United won't win a trophy this season, despite still being in four competitions

Former Liverpool forward Luis Garcia thinks that Manchester United will end the season empty handed, despite still being in all four competitions.

United beat Barcelona on Thursday night, to end a thrilling tie, going through to the last 16 of the Europa League, where they'll face Real Betis.

It continues excellent form at Old Trafford that has fans believing that this could finally be the year that ends their trophy wilderness, which is creeping up to six years.

Paul Scholes even thinks that his former side could be on for a quadruple of Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League.

The team's best shot of silverware is obviously in the Carabao, where they are just a win against Newcastle United on Sunday from lifting the trophy.

Newcastle fans are clearly feeling very confident, but Erik ten Hag will also fancy his side to be victorious, a thought not held by Garcia.

The former Liverpool forward has claimed that his old team's fiercest rivals aren't going to end up winning anything this season, which would be a huge blow if it happened.

"I think none, at the end it is not going to happen," the Spaniard told ESPN FC when discussing how many trophies United would end up with.

"There are a lot of expectations and to be honest, what they have got in front there is a lot of pressure.

"In the last part of the season, they have got so many things that at the end sometimes when you swim and swim and swim, you die when you arrive at the coast.

"At the end, they are not going to get any trophies."

Despite the optimism that surrounds Ten Hag's team, there is of course every chance that the 44-year-old's predictions comes to pass.

Newcastle will be just as desperate, if not more, to win a trophy, having last lifted a major cup in 1955, when they won the FA Cup.

They will have to do it without Nick Pope, after their first choice goalkeeper was sent off for his handball in last week's league loss to Liverpool.

United are in the fifth round of the FA Cup against West Ham and still four wins away from winning the competition, whilst the Europa League is still seven matches away and they remain distant third favourites for league title success.
