    FT: Man Utd 2-0 Newcastle. THAT'S IT! ALL OVER AT WEMBLEY! MAN UNITED ARE CHAMPIONS!!!!!! The Red Devils successfully see out their first half lead and end their drought of silverware. They saw off a lot of Magpie pressure in the second half, but their rock-solid defence proved sufficient to crush Newcastle fans' dreams. It's Ten Hag's first trophy at the Mancunian side in what is turning out to be a great season. Thanks for joining our live and see you soon.

    HT: Man United 2-0 Newcastle. Dream start for Ten Hag's men as they see themselves two up at the break. First it was Casemiro to head home, before Rashford added another one to his unbelievable stats so far this season. Will be a tall order for the Magpies to come back from this.
