Manchester United win first trophy of Ten Hag era

United’s first game in the competition was in 1960 and we had to wait until 1992 before winning it. This was after two defeats in finals – in 1983 to Liverpool when it was branded the Milk Cup and 1991, when Sheffield Wednesday beat us in the Rumbelows Cup final. A year later, Brian McClair’s goal earned a 1-0 triumph over Nottingham Forest.

Another final loss, to Aston Villa, denied us a domestic Treble in 1993/94 and it was not until 2005/06 when we lifted the trophy again. Wigan Athletic were vanquished in Cardiff with goals from Wayne Rooney (2) , Louis Saha and Cristiano Ronaldo earning a 4-0 victory.

In 2008/09, a goalless final with Tottenham was followed by a 4-1 penalty shoot-out win, with goalkeeper Ben Foster the hero.
