Man Utd v Newcastle: Carabao Cup final pictures
Manchester United defeated Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday with a 2-0 win at Wembley. The Red Devils ended a six-year wait for a trophy as Erik ten Hag claimed silverware at the first opportunity. Casemiro headed in an opener before a Sven Botman deflection helped Marcus Rashford double the lead before half-time. And Newcastle were unable to respond in the second half as United claimed glory. Express Sport rates United’s players after their long-awaited cup success.
David de Gea - 8
Important early block from Allan Saint-Maximin as he broke Peter Schmeichel’s club record of 180 clean sheets.
Diogo Dalot - 6
Replaced at half-time by Aaron Wan-Bissaka after being booked early for a cynical foul on Allan Saint-Maximin.
Raphael Varane - 8
Rolls-Royce display from the classy French defender helped to shut out Newcastle's strikeforce.
Lisandro Martinez - 7
Tenacious and spiky as ever at the heart of the Manchester United defence. Booked at the death.
Luke Shaw - 8
Superb free-kick delivery put his side on the way in a composed and confident all-round display.
Fred - 7
Booked for clumsy late tackle but buzzed around usefully in midfield before being replaced with 20 minutes remaining.
Casemiro - 9
Broke the deadlock and swept up well in front of the Manchester United defence.
Bruno Fernandes - 8
Nothing too flashy but an industrious afternoon nonetheless from the Manchester United captain.
Antony - 8
Cocky but came out on top in his little and large battle with Dan Burn on the right flank with his dancer’s footwork.
Marcus Rashford - 8
A predictable handful for Newcastle with his pace after passing fitness test to play after knock against Real Madrid in midweek.
Wout Weghorst - 8
One of his best performances since arriving at Old Trafford. The effort has never been in question but there some nice touches too.
