Gary Neville explains how Erik ten Hag has transformed Manchester United after Carabao Cup win

Former right-back Gary Neville waxed lyrical about Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag following the club's 2-0 win over Newcastle United in Sunday's Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

United, who will immediately switch their focus to Wednesday night's FA Cup fifth-round tie with West Ham United, ended their six-year wait for a trophy thanks to first-half goals from Casemiro and Marcus Rashford. The duo each scored in the space of just six minutes, meaning the contest was effectively over by the half-time break.

Although United had to watch Newcastle dictate possession for long spells of the second half, the Magpies did little to threaten David de Gea's clean sheet. United managed the game well and were helped by Ten Hag making clever substitutions at key moments, not least Aaron Wan-Bissaka's half-time introduction in place of Diogo Dalot.
