After sending Barcelona packing in the Europa League on Thursday night, Manchester United will be dreaming of ending their six-year drought without a trophy when they face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley this afternoon.
The Reds, who will face Real Betis in the last-16 of the Europa League as a reward for getting the better of La Liga's table-toppers, will be determined to continue their excellent run of form and scoop their first trophy of the Erik ten Hag era. Although Newcastle will have strong ambitions of ending their own dry spell without any silverware, United will have the bit between their teeth after their midweek heroics and will head into the clash underneath the iconic Wembley Arch as favourites.
United comfortably dispatched of Nottingham Forest at the semi-final stage to book their first Wembley visit since July 2020, winning 5-0 on aggregate. Their 3-0 win at the City Ground in the first-leg meant the tie was as good as over by the halfway stage. Train tickets to London have long since been booked.
