Manchester United takes on Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley stadium.

In his first season as Red Devils coach, Erik Ten Hag has a chance to win his first trophy. This could also be United’s first trophy in six years.

Newcastle, on the other hand, are no pushover, as they have enjoyed fine form since the start of this campaign.

A trophy would mark the start of a new dawn for its new owners, the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, which invested a whopping £300 million in the English club.

The Magpies have gone decades without silverware, which has been a cruel punishment for its devoted fans. Their last major domestic prize came in 1955 when they lifted the FA Cup.

Tonight’s grand finale will be Newcastle’s first domestic final appearance since losing to United in the 1999 FA Cup.

The Red Devils secured a 2-0 victory in a treble-winning campaign that saw them lift the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.

MANCHESTER UNITED VS NEWCASTLE HEAD TO HEAD

Manchester United have won two of their three League Cup meetings with Newcastle (L1), with this the first since a 2-1 home win in September 2012.

Newcastle should hope that the Red Devils are fatigued following their exploits in Europe, which saw them defeat La Liga table-topper Barcelona in the Europa League.

The two have played so far 45 matches against each other. Manchester United won 29 direct matches while Newcastle won 6 with 10 matches ending in a draw.
