Duel Manchester United vs Newcastle will be staged at Wembley Stadium on Sunday (26/2/2023). The match will kick off at 23.30 WIB.

The match will undoubtedly take place with high tension because both teams will be determined to win the trophy. United are looking to win their first trophy since winning the Europa League and League Cup in 2017, while Newcastle have not won anything since winning the Intertoto Cup in 2007.

MU will be more favored after being unbeaten in the last nine matches with seven wins. On the other hand, the Magpies have been less consistent after the turn of the year with only four wins, four draws and two defeats in their last 10 matches.

3. This was Newcastle United’s first League Cup final since 1976, with the longest gap of 47 years between finals in League Cup history. The Magpies have lost their last four finals in their major competition (1974, 1998 and 1999 FA Cup final, and 1976 League Cup final) since a 6-2 aggregate win in the 1969 Fairs Cup final against Hungarian side Ujpest.

7. Since the 2009/2010 season, when Eddie Howe first took charge of the League Cup, no manager has had more wins in the competition than him (22, level with Pep Guardiola).

He only touched the ball 15 times, then released 11 accurate passes from 14 attempts. Even so, he played a role in the process of creating MU’s second goal.

His pass to Bruno Fernandes on the right was then turned into a cross into the penalty box which Marcus Rashford received. The 25-year-old striker then sent a mature pass which Fred completed in front of the Nottingham goal.

Sancho’s presence was welcomed by MU fans who gave him applause. He smiled with Ten Hag on the sidelines just before coming on. The manager is also happy that his players are contributing again.

“If you want to win a trophy, you need the presence of all the players. You see, we can bring something fresh from the bench,” explained the Dutch manager.

MU’s two goals in this match only came when MU introduced the trio of Sancho, Rashford and Anthony Martial in the second half. Sancho played a part in the process of the second goal, Martial scored the first goal, and Rashford was always present in the process of the two goals.

Prior to this match, Sancho last played for MU on October 22 in the match against Chelsea in the Premier League. After that, he was no longer fielded because he was considered not in the best condition.

During the 2022 World Cup break, Sancho was sent to the Netherlands and underwent private training to recover physically and mentally. Ten Hag said he would return to playing Sancho when the conditions were right. He proved that against Nottingham.

Manchester –

I took five weeks off Manchester United “Hungry”. Unfortunate for Burnley which became the meal of the Red Devils.

The competition in Europe took a break for more than a month because it was there World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Manchester United is a club that can be lifted because the World Cup is over.

Because there were about 13 MU players who went to defend their national team, with two players returning later because they appeared in the final, namely Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.

Both were absent when MU hosted Burnley Carabao Cup Fourth Round 2022/2023, Thursday (22/12/2022) early morning WIB. Meanwhile, five players such as Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen, Tyrell Malacia and Marcus Rashford left immediately.

MU, who dominated from the start, took the lead in the 27th minute thanks to a goal from Eriksen, which ended a string of team passes to dismantle the Burnley defence.

Rashford in the second half doubled MU’s lead to 2-0 and it lasted until the end of the fight. MU consistently entered the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup, with 55% possession and six shots on goal out of a total of 11 in 90 minutes.

Performance that satisfied coach Erik ten Hag as the new players returned after more than a month away. Player hunger is the key to MU victory.

“You never know what it’s going to be like, because it’s always difficult to show up after the international break, especially as they haven’t played together for five weeks. I don’t think the team that was fielded this time has never played together. But they played according to the our wishes and our style of play. I am satisfied with the performance and the result,” said Ten Hag. Sky Sports.

“The players are so hungry after the World Cup break. It’s good to see the first goal of good teamwork.”
