Manchester United thrashed Newcastle United 2:0 in the Carabao Cup final at 90,000 seating capacity Wembley Stadium on last night to secure their first trophy since 2017.
Attended by thousands of both fans including diplomats such as Southgate, the English coach, ex united’s coach Sir Alex Furgerson etc.
The 45-year-old Newcastle’s boss Edward John Frank Howe must have consistently echoed his boys to go bully Erik Ten Hag’s boys with much ambition to win. Newcastle dominated both halves of the game putting intense pressure on Man Utd’s deference.
On several occasions the French international Maximin and his colleagues Almiron and Guimares broke in between Dallot & Martinez coming so close with shots that threatened David Degea’s savings skills.
It was yet another show of soccer tactics from one of the top budding coach Erik Ten Hag having signed a few of his former players from Ajax Antony followed Martinez to United. Having won two Eredivisie titles with Ten Hag previously, and the United manager believes United have benefited from recruiting players accustomed to lifting silverware just like the duo in addition to other special players such as the outstanding Casemiro who later on bagged Man of the Match for his brilliant performance to lead the team to win the Carabao Cup final.
Casemiro was determined to protect his back four at all costs at Wembley, and when he got a chance to impact the game higher up the pitch, he took it without hesitation. He headed in a superb cross from a Luke Shaw free-kick to give Manchester United the lead. Minutes later Marcus Rashford had doubled the advantage.
Ten Hag wasn’t slow to appreciate his teams like Martinez who started in United’s 2-0 League Cup final win over Newcastle. “With the introduction of McTominey & Sabitzer into the game, Ten Hag has flooded the pitch with mid fielders in order to neutralizer consistent attacking threats from Newcastle” Uganda’s sports commentator Jimmy Pizzo analyzed.
“United signed Martinez from Ajax for £55.3million in July and he has overcome a chastening start to establish himself as a cult hero among United fans.” Pizzo continued who undoubtfully is neither a Man Utd nor a Newcastle supporter.

Asked about his decision to join Man United, Ten Hag replied “ Maybe it was a risk, but I am stubborn. This is the club for me. I just love Manchester United”
