Casemiro opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a guided header from Luke Shaw’s free kick.

Just six minutes later and it was 2-0 as Marcus Rashford’s shot was inadvertently steered home by Sven Botman, with the official classification being an own goal.

Newcastle dominated possession throughout the match but were unable to create many clear-cut opportunities.

Dogged performances from Manchester United’s midfield and defence ensured they claimed their first trophy of Erik ten Hag’s reign.

Daniel Taylor, Carl Anka and Chris Waugh analyse the key talking points.

The League Cup is not a trophy that Manchester United fans start the season pining for, but this victory can be viewed as the start of something.

In half a season (and after spending over £250m), Ten Hag has got a lop-sided disorganised assortment of players and fashioned them into a good-but-not-great-yet football team.

Fans will rejoice in their win at Wembley but also have thoughts on how the team can further improve.
