Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen believes winning the Carabao Cup would prove that the club is heading in the right direction under manager Erik ten Hag.
United, who will be looking to record a 13th successive Old Trafford victory when they host Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, booked their place in the final with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the second leg of their semi-final showdown on Wednesday evening, sealing a 5-0 aggregate victory. Second-half goals from Anthony Martial and Fred sealed a routine win for the Reds.
Victory over Forest means that United will now face Newcastle United at Wembley at the end of this month, presenting them with the chance to end their trophy drought. The club has not won a major trophy since winning the Europa League in May 2017.
