As soon as the final whistle blew at Wembley Stadium on Sunday evening, the relief across the red half of the arena was palpable as Manchester United claimed the Carabao Cup.
Their 2-0 victory over Newcastle brought to an end a near six-year trophy drought at Old Trafford and signalled a successful start to life Erik ten Hag. Ever the perfectionist, attention very quickly turned to what else the Dutchman could lead the Red Devils to throughout the remainder of the season with United continuing to challenge on a number of fronts.
Before that though, celebrations took place both on the pitch and in the dressing room as the squad and Ten Hag’s staff toasted their success at the national stadium.
