Both of the Red Devils’ goals came in the first half, with Casemiro giving them the lead with a thunderous header that came off a Shaw free-kick.

Before Rashford’s cross, which was the game-winning goal, bounced in off Botman to give United a 2-0 lead.

The only time the Magpies really tried to test De Gea was when he made a last-second stop to deny Joelinton.

For the sixth time, Manchester United takes home the trophy, and Ten Hag has given them the season’s first trophy.

Newcastle hasn’t won a trophy in 24 years despite making a major final for the first time.

It’s heartbreaking for Newcastle since they have now been defeated all nine of their games at Wembley, a streak that started with the 1974 FA Cup final and has grown to be the longest losing streak by a club team there.
