Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has warned Manchester City that Erik ten Hag's team will continue to be a threat to them after their Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle.
United were comfortable victors on Sunday despite Eddie Howe's side having plenty of possession at Wembley Stadium. The Reds took the lead in the 33rd minute when Luke Shaw's free kick was nodded home by Casemiro.
Marcus Rashford made it two, five minutes later when his strike deflected off Sven Botman and into Loris Karius' goal. Newcastle pushed for a goal back after the interval but United proved to be good value for their League Cup triumph.

Speaking to Sky Sports post-match, Neville claimed that Ten Hag's side will now be challenging the likes of Arsenal and City on a regular basis after their victory under the arch. He explained: "At the end of last season, some of those players were part of a team labelled a disgrace by me and other Man United fans.
"It was horrible to watch. They were divided. The turnaround is transformational. It’s unbelievable what Erik ten Hag has done.
"From 2003 and 2006, we didn’t win a trophy and you feel like you’re never going to win a league again, or you’re not going to be up there again. This trophy was the catalyst for feeling confident and putting belief into the squad.
"This squad will be dangerous with a medal around their neck because you like to think Erik ten Hag is going to improve them again in the next 12 to 18 months. They’re not close to Arsenal or Man City, that’s clear, but where they are and what they’re doing is something I never would have imagined six months ago."
