Newcastle United were loud and proud at Wembley - but the long wait for a first trophy since 1969 goes on.
Manchester United grabbed the lead on 33 minutes when Luke Shaw’s out-swinging free-kick was headed home by Casemiro. VAR checked for a possible offside for the goal was given.
Not long after, it was 2-0. Rashford was played into the box by Wout Weghorst and his shot deflected off Sven Botman and over Karius.
