Former Manchester United assistant manager Rene Meulensteen says Erik ten Hag will be desperate to lift the Carabao Cup.
United defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the second leg of their semi-final to book a 1999 Wembley rematch with Newcastle.
"He done it with Ajax in terms of winning things and there is another one here for Manchester United," Meulensteen told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"He came here only for one thing and that is to bring them back to where they belong which is in finals but winning them.
"What I like is a lot of managers would have complained about the schedule with eight games in February but he says it is an advantage because very quickly we play a lot of games and I can tell the players where they need to improve and get better - I like that approach.
"That is what he will be telling the players, all the time."
