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.
