The Red Devils are closer to the final in The League Cup!

The Red Devils have almost reached the final in The Capital One Cup, after they beat Hull City 2-0 at Old Trafford. Manchester United have finally brought back their familiar face and they can’t now stop winning matches!

After 9 consecutive victories in all competitions, the Jose Mourinho’s players look strong enough to fight for all the trophies they are competing for. Actually, they are not so far away from the first place in The Premier League, even though they are lying in 6th position in the standings. The difference between The Red Devils and Chelsea is 10 points, which is not impossible to be melted!

However, Manchester United recorded another good victory, after bagging two goals in the Tigers’ net. The Red Devils created lots of goal-scoring chances, but they managed to open the score in the 56th minute, when Juan Mata found the net. Then, a few minutes before the final whistle Marouane Fellaini doubled the score, securing the victory for Man United.

The last time The Red Devils won The Capital One Cup was in 2010, when they beat Aston Villa 2-1 in the final match. Manchester United have won this competition on 4 occasions, as they have only lost the final 4 times. So, if they reach the final it is not sure they will lift the trophy. In the previous campaign, Manchester United were eliminated in the 4th round of the cup – losing to Middlesbrough after penalty shootouts.

The second semi-final match between Manchester United and Hull City will be held on 26th January, but The Red Devils currently look too strong for The Tigers and they will surely have no difficulties in finding a place in the final. However, the other semi-final between Liverpool and Southampton seems to be more unpredictable and Manchester United were quite lucky to be drawn against The Tigers.
