Congratulations to Manchester United. They were under the cosh for much of the second half but what a great match. It had everything. There were goals, disallowed goals, could have been sendings off. 

Both sets of players, managers and fans have had a great day - it's been a joy to be here.  

Manchester United used all their experience and got there in the end. 

Deserved winners? Difficult one. 

Because you have someone like Zlatan Ibrahimovic in your side you have always, always got a chance. So in that respect, yes it is deserved. 

The Southampton players make the disappointing walk up the Wembley steps to collect their runners-up medals.

Saints were the better side in the match, but lapses in concentration cost them.

Manchester United gain revenge for the 1976 FA Cup final.

They signed him on a free, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been a priceless acquisition for Manchester United.

26 goals for the season now, including two in the EFL Cup final against Southampton.

It is the 19th major trophy of his illustrious career and first for United.

"This is what I came for, I came to win," he tells Sky Sports.

Big game player.

The Southampton players are devastated.

They did not concede any goals on their run to the final but let in three at Wembley.

Time is up.

Pumped into the Manchester United area...

...it falls to Ryan Bertrand...

...but the left-backs shot is blocked by a red shirt.

United almost there.

Can Southampton take it into extra time???

INTO THE LAST MINUTE.

Clever from Paul Pogba, goes down under a challenge from a Southampton man.

Eats away a few more seconds.

"We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the red flag flying high," sing the United fans at Wembley.

120 seconds left.

Southampton need to get the ball forward.

Is there a twist left in this match? Can Southampton reply as they did early in the match?

The 90 minutes are up.

FOUR ADDED ON.

Wayne Rooney was getting ready to come on, his tracksuit was off and he celebrated the goal wildly but he won't be making his entrance anymore.

On comes Marouane Fellaini instead, replacing Anthony Martial.

Southampton have to go for it and send on striker Jay Rodriguez for Steven Davies.

One minute left.

What a ball that was into Ibrahimovic and no way was he going to miss that.

United break to the other end...

Oh so close for Southampton.

Ryan Bertrand puts a brilliant ball into the area, not for the first time, but Shane Long cannot prod it home.

From the resulting corner, Zlatan Ibrahimovic heads Jack Stephens's effort off the line.

The bib is off.
