Man Utd win League Cup after six years

Man Utd has won League Cup to end six-year trophy drought.

It claimed their first trophy since 2017 with victory over Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday.

Erik ten Hag's side took control by half-time thanks to Casemiro's header and a Sven Botman own goal and held firm despite Newcastle’s second-half pressure.

Casemiro broke the deadlock after 33 minutes when he headed home Luke Shaw's free-kick.

His side doubled their advantage after Sven Botman deflected Marcus Rashford's shot out of the reach of Newcastle's debutant keeper Loris Karius, deputising for the suspended Nick Pope.

After 10 years in the wilderness since Alex Ferguson retired having led them to their last Premier League title in 2013, United are finally emerging from one of the darkest period in the club's illustrious history.

United finished a dismal sixth in the Premier League last season, but Ten Hag has swiftly masterminded their return to relevance.
