Manchester United yesterday had a 2-0 victory over Newcastle united in the Carabao Cup final played in Wembley.

Mild- fielder Casemiro before arriving in Manchester had already claimed five champions leagues, three La Liga titles, one Copa America and 15 other trophies for club and country.

He had won 10 of the 12 major finals he’d played. Now he has a Carabao cup.

Manchester United were celebrating their first major trophy since winning the Europa league in 2017.

BCC reports that, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag speaking to Sky Sports expressed satisfaction over the players performances while reassuring that the match wouldn’t be the last as they continue to fight on all fronts.

The 53years old Erik ten Hag, a Dutch professional football coach and former player who is currently the manager of Premier League club Manchester United had played as a central defender and began his career with Eredivisie club Twente; he joined De Graafschap in 1990, and won the Eerste Divisie in his first season.

“Yet again the right spirit, we have a very good spirit to fight and give everything. It was not always the best football but it was effective.

“First you have to win the first one and that is what we did today. You can get inspiration from this and more confidence that we can do it.

“We are still at the start of restoring Manchester United to where they belong and that is to be winning trophies. This is the first one.

“They [the players] are good and connected and they also challenge each other and it is a good dressing room and in the moment it is difficult they help each other out. It is the best a manager can get.

“I just want to win. We invest from the start with the staff. They did an incredible good job with the players. The staff and players are together. There was a hunger and desire for trophies because Man Utd stands for trophies.

“Raphael Varane, Casemiro and David de Gea know how to win trophies and you need such lads on the pitch to point the team. They have the winning attitude they have to bring it in the dressing room, in difficult situations and that is what they have done.”

Newcastle United

The 43-year-old Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe, wasted no time in getting down to work in his new role.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe talking to Sky Sports:

I thought we were in it right until the end but the goal never came for us.

We probably had the best chances at the start of the match. We can be proud of our performance but we were not clinical enough.

As much as we didnt want the final to be a distraction it has been. The players gave everything.

It is a process, we want to be here on a regular basis. There is a long way to go to be the team we want to be.
