What happens if Newcastle lose to Manchester United in the 2022-2023 CarabaoCup final against Newcastle?
If Newcastle lose to Manchester Unitedin the Carabao Cup final, the Red Devilswill be officially champions as there is no second leg or replay in this stage of the tournament. Furthermore, Manchester Unitedwould automatically have a spot in next season’s UEFA Europa Conference League.
However, if Manchester Unitedclinches a spot to the Champions League or the Europa League at the end ofthe season (very probable), the highest placed clubin the Premier League standings which aren’t qualified for a European competition will take that berth. This would open the door for a lot of teams in contention at the Premier League.
For Manchester United, it will be their sixth Carabao Cup/EFL Cup trophyin history and their first title since the 2016-2017 season when they won the UEFA Europa League, the Community Shield and also the Carabao Cup with Jose Mourinho as coach. So far, it’s a six-year drought for the Red Devils.
