Manchester United clinch first trophy under Erik ten Hag
Casemiro and Botman goals secure Carabao Cup glory
Magpies' wait for major silverware continues
Manchester United ended their six-year trophy drought with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. Casemiro's header in the first half and an own goal from Sven Botman after the break sealed the win for Erik ten Hag's side.
It was a dominant performance from United, who controlled the game from start to finish. Newcastle had few chances and were unable to find a way past a resolute United defence.
The victory is a major boost for Ten Hag, who has quickly turned things around at Old Trafford. It is his first trophy as United manager and it will give the team confidence for the rest of the season.
For Newcastle, the wait for major silverware continues. They have not won a trophy since 1969 and their fans will be disappointed to have come so close at Wembley.
The victory is a reminder of the progress that United have made under Ten Hag. They are now in the race for a top-four finish in the Premier League and they are also in the Europa League round of 16.
With a trophy in the bag and a number of key players returning from injury, United will be confident of finishing the season strong and adding more silverware to their collection.
