Luke Shaw explains why Manchester United players did not get a day off after winning Carabao Cup

Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has set the target of trying to win the FA Cup this season following Sunday's Carabao Cup final triumph over Newcastle United at Wembley.

United ended their six-year wait for a trophy with a fairly comfortable 2-0 win over the Magpies, thanks to first-half goals from Casemiro and Marcus Rashford. The former headed the Reds into a 33rd-minute lead, rising highest to meet Shaw's free-kick delivery, ahead of Rashford doubling their advantage just six minutes later via the aid of a deflection.

Newcastle dominated the game for long spells in the second half, dictating possession, but did so without ever really threatening David de Gea between the posts. The closest they came to scoring after the break was when Jacob Murphy's swerving effort went just wide late on.
