Ten Hag led United to a 2-0 win over Newcastle at Wembley on Sunday, ending their six-year hoodoo without a trophy.
The Red Devils remain in the hunt for FA Cup and Europa League glory.
And they are still in with an outside shot at the Premier League title.
Ten Hag’s emotions got the better of him on Sunday at the final whistle, with the Dutchman breaking out his best dance moves alongside ex-Ajax players Antony and Lisandro Martinez.

United legend Roy Keane was not impressed, jokingly telling the tactician to resign.
And bitter Arsenal fan Piers Morgan branded it “embarrassing.”
But footage from Ten Hag’s days in the Dutch capital shows he has already performed similar moves with Antony and Martinez before.
Celebrating several Ajax trophy wins, Ten Hag and his aces could be seen grooving on the grass and in the dressing room.

And at Wembley, the United fan favourite made no apologies for his actions.
He said: “We have a history, Licha (Martinez) and Antony, in Amsterdam and we did some dancing. I hope we can do even more in the future but therefore we have to invest and sacrifice every day to win trophies.
“You have to celebrate. It is not business as usual, it is not a common day. We won a trophy and this trophy means something.
“That is the feeling I get here and we have won something. We have to celebrate but after that point you have to keep going because this cup can be the inspiration to get even more.”
Meanwhile, Ten Hag admitted the risky decision to swap Ajax for United had already paid off.
He added: “Maybe it was a risk but I just love United. So when I see our shirts, the boundary with the fans, when I see Old Trafford, the legacy like Sir Alex left, so many big players were developed in a United shirt and we want to do the same.
“This team wants to make its own history and when this opportunity came I thought it was the right club for me, I want to be part of it.
“It is one cup and it is February but it shows we are in the right direction. It has to be the inspiration to keep going and be happy for 24 hours, but not satisfied because satisfaction leads to laziness and then you don't win trophies.”
