Former Manchester United assistant coach Rene Meulensteen says the Carabao Cup final is setup to be a classic.

United's semifinal victory over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night will see them meet Newcastle United in the final.

Meulensteen said: "Manchester United have players on their books who are serial winners in Raphael Varane and Casemiro which will help because they have got the experience of playing on the big occasions.

"The fact is it is at Wembley, a neutral ground.

"It's set-up for such a fantastic final because what Eddie Howe has done with Newcastle is to make them a very hard team to beat.

"United with those players have the confidence that they will definitely score, probably two or three.

"Newcastle will have all the belief that they can beat Man Utd on the day as well. Plus, you will have two fantastic sets of fans which will create an unbelievable atmosphere."
