: Manchester United will aim to end their six-year trophy drought when Erik ten Hag's resurgent side face Newcastle in Sunday's League Cup final, while the Magpies' Saudi-funded revolution could produce the club's first major prize since 1969.
United haven't won a major trophy since the 2017 Europa League, a prize they claimed just weeks after beating Southampton in their most recent League Cup final appearance. “He first arrived and the training sessions we had, he demands ‘you do it or you’re out’. You don’t play,“ United midfielder Bruno Fernandes said.
Ten Hag has tried to temper expectations in his first season but he knows victory this weekend would be a meaningful moment for a club climbing out of the doldrums. It is an astonishingly rapid rise for a team who were mired in the relegation zone when Howe was hired soon after the £305 million takeover from unpopular former owner Mike Ashley in late 2021.
For this weekend, they are focused on winning the club's first major trophy since the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.For such a football-obsessed city to go decades without a trophy has been cruel punishment for the long-suffering 'Toon Army', who will be watching Newcastle's first domestic final appearance since losing to United in the 1999 FA Cup.
