Bruno Fernandes believes the Carabao Cup final will be “enjoyable” for neutral supporters as he eyes his first Manchester United trophy. While not comparable to Newcastle United’s, the Red Devils are also experiencing a trophy drought.
No silverware for six seasons is a rarity at Old Trafford but that figure does not compare to the 68-year barren spell Toon supporters have endured. Both clubs met in the 1999 FA Cup final when Sir Alex Ferguson’s side won 2-0 on their way to securing a historic treble.
Man United are now longer the feared side of old but are enjoying a renaissance under Erik ten Hag. While off-the-field problems still linger, the Dutchman has put his stamp on a side who have underperformed for years.
