Nearly six years on from winning their most recent piece of silverware, Manchester United can end their trophyless streak when they lock horns with Newcastle United at Wembley in Sunday's EFL Cup final.
The Red Devils last got their hands on the trophy under Jose Mourinho in 2017 - their fifth triumph in the tournament - and they comfortably sent Nottingham Forest packing in the semi-finals 5-0 on aggregate.
Erik ten Hag's men travel to the capital having recorded a 4-3 aggregate triumph over Barcelona in the Europa League knockout playoff round, coming from behind to secure a memorable 2-1 second-leg win at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the final against Newcastle, who have not won a major trophy since the 1955 FA Cup.
