Former England and Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveManchester United are an exceptional team at the moment, they are sky-high with confidence. They haven't had much of the ball but they don't care.

Save!
Manchester United are buzzing now. Antony's neat footwork releases his side down the left, with Wout Weghorst found in space. He cuts in and curls a shot on target that Loris Karius pushes away.
Best moment of the game for the Newcastle keeper.

Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer at WembleyNewcastle United captain Kieran Trippier made a point of going around his team-mates after they conceded the first goal in an attempt to rally the troops but since the second there is a real sense of deflation, with even the Geordie masses silenced.
Manchester United are in control.

Man Utd 2-0 Newcastle
Tell you what, Fred is on thin ice. He gets involved in a tangle with Sean Longstaff that leaves the Newcastle player down. The Brazilian has already been booked but the referee isn't interested in punishing him further.
He must have had his heart in his mouth for a moment.

Casemiro is bang up for this! He stands his ground to stop Joelinton getting in down the left. After doing so he stands and waves encouragement to the Man Utd fans behind him.

Well, great chance to claw one back!
Newcastle do really well to work space for a chipped cross from the right that Dan Burn meets with his head, but can only glance wide.
He was under serious pressure, with Luke Shaw leaning in to him.

PJ: Rashford again! Not the cleanest of strikes but we'll take it anyway n with the form he's in!
Babyboomer: He doesn't get many good mentions but that was an perfectly weighted pass from Weghorst into the the right space for Rashford to run onto goal.

BBC Sport at Wembley StadiumThat was deflected but if the goal is given to Marcus Rashford, that is 17 in 19 since the World Cup.
He came on for five minutes in England's defeat by France.

It is a long, long way back now for Newcastle.
Does anyone think they have it in them? They are a fine side. But against this talented Man Utd side, with such confidence surging trough their veins?
'It's crushing'published at 17:13 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2023
Man Utd 2-0 Newcastle
Stephen Warnock
Former England and Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe worst thing to happen to Newcastle.
Great play from Weghorst to find Rashford.
Karius was set in position and with his feet planted it deflects over his head. It's crushing for Newcastle.
GOAL - Man Utd 2-0 Newcastlepublished at 39 mins
Marcus Rashford
IT'S TWO! And of course it's Marcus Rashford!
It comes from a long ball forward that Newcastle fail to deal with properly. And the player they least want to see on the ball from Wout Weghorst's supply is there to fire a shot that lifts up off Sven Botman's boot and beats Loris Karius.
The keeper could have done better, but he's not at fault.
Rashford, man. It's inevitable.

Michael Reid: Casemiro is making himself a hero at United. What a debut season.
Manny: Casimero has won almost everything in football but still plays every game as hungry as his first. And people said he came for the pay day.

Simon Stone
BBC Sport at Wembley StadiumAs I was saying earlier, I don't think we realised the full range of Casemiro's talents during his time at Real Madrid.
He does score in finals though. He found the net in the 2016 Champions League final against Juventus.

Newcastle chance!
They have a free-kick of their own, which Kieran Trippier delivers for Man Utd to head away. The team in black and white come again, though, setting up a shooting opportunity that Miguel Almiron blazes ove.

Fred is the second Manchester United player into the book. A clumsy, late foul is the reason.

When you talk of big-game players, Casemiro is right up there.
This is a man with five Champions League winners' medals to his name.
An EFL Cup final is a walk in the park.
