Carabao Cup: Pep Guardiola Mocks Man United After Title Triumph

• Manchester United ended their trophy drought on Sunday when they beat Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final
• Until Sunday, the Red Devils had not won a trophy for five years, with their last coming in 2017 under Jose Mourinho
• Erik ten Hag's men are still in contention for three more trophies this season including the FA Cup and Europa League

Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has aimed a subtle dig at rivals, Man United after their Carabao Cup triumph.

United stunned Newcastle 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final on February 26 to secure their first trophy of the 2022/23 season.

First-half goals from Casemiro and Marcus Rashford got the job done for the Red Devils as Erik ten Hag ended the team's five-year wait for a trophy.

According to Metro UK, Man United are still in contention for three titles, including the FA Cup and the Europa League.

The Old Trafford dwellers are also outside favourites for the Premier League title, with eight points separating them and leaders, Arsenal.

Pep mocks Man United

Despite United's recent success, Guardiola has still found a way to mock City's archrivals.

When asked if he considers the Red Devils as challengers for more trophies, the Spaniard joked:

"If they spend a little more money, yes, because they didn’t spend, isn’t it?" he said via Metro UK.

"They’re in the position they normally should be."

United will be looking to seal a spot in the next round of the FA Cup when they play West Ham United on Wednesday night.

United's Carabao Cup prize money

Sports Brief also reported on Man United earning just £100,000 in prize money after winning the Carabao Cup. Newcastle are in line to pocket just £50,000 for finishing as the runners-up.
