Manchester United can end their six-year wait for a trophy on Sunday when they face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
Erik ten Hag has a chance to deliver one of his promises at the first time of asking by bringing silverware back to M16, and goes into the final buoyed by progression into the last-16 of the Europa League, following their 2-1 comeback win against Barcelona on Thursday.
That win did, however, only give the Reds two full days to prepare for Newcastle while Eddie Howe has been focused on Wembley since Sunday - although Ten Hag insisted the momentum from this busiest of months is an advantage rather than an issue.
