Roy Keane and Gary Neville raised their concerns over former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius' match sharpness as he made his much-publicised return in the Carabao Cup final.
Manchester United were taking on Newcastle United with the Magpies looking to win their first piece of domestic silverware since 1955. Prior to the showpiece match at Wembley, the North East side were dealt a tricky hand as Nick Pope was shown a straight red card against the Reds during their 2-0 defeat at St James' Park.
Pope would miss Sunday's cup final against the Red Devils as a result and the Newcastle manager handed Karius his first appearance for the Toon Army since arriving in the summer. A lot of the build-up was focused on Karius' lack of first-team action since he made two costly mistakes in the 2018 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.
