One of Erik ten Hag's summer transfer decisions was made easier in Man United Carabao Cup win

No matter how many saves David de Gea makes, there will always be some Manchester United fans who strongly believe that the Reds need to replace the veteran Spaniard in the summer transfer window. The goalkeeper was impressive in the Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle United, but his future still remains unclear.

The 32-year-old, who signed for United from Atletico Madrid in 2011, kept a clean sheet on Sunday afternoon as Erik ten Hag's side won their first trophy since 2017. The Reds secured a 2-0 victory over the Magpies thanks to a Casemiro header and an own-goal as they somewhat eased past Newcastle.

By shutting out Eddie Howe's side, De Gea has now overtaken Peter Schmeichel to record the most clean sheets in the club's history, having registered 181 in his 523 appearances for United. The shot-stopper, who has also made the 10th-most appearances for the Reds, has been an ever-present in the Premier League this term, and he was flawless on the big stage on Sunday.
