Man United Books Carabao Cup Final Spot, Play Newcastle United At Wembley

Manchester United will face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final on February 26 at the Wembley stadium after Erik ten Hag’s side comfortably beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 to ease into the final 5-0 on aggregate.
The Red Devils overcame Forest 3-0 in the first leg tie at the City Ground to make Wednesday’s second leg fixture somewhat an easy task.
United dominated proceedings and substitute Anthony Martial eventually broke the deadlock before Fred wrapped up a 2-0 win with a fruituous touch seeing them triumph 5-0 on aggregate.
The reward was a trip to the capital to take on Newcastle as summer appointment Ten Hag looks to lead United to their first silverware since lifting the Europa League in 2017.
“Of course when you win a semi-final it’s okay,” Ten Hag told Sky Sports.
“The first half wasn’t great to be honest. I thought it was professional but too slow and we didn’t create too many chances. The second half was much better, more tempo and we made some good goals.
“We just want to improve every day. I think we have a good squad so we have to demand and control the high standards. You have to bring that every game. We are Manchester United.”
United are still in all four competitions that they are part of this season.
