“We achieved that mission comfortably in the end, although it wasn’t comfortable when you were in the process of working through it. “They (Man Utd) come from a totally different place to us,” said Howe. “We’re left with a feeling of defeat in the final, which is never nice, and we’re desperately disappointed,” said the Magpies boss. It’s probably the most difficult in the football calendar, but that will be a great challenge for us to go into.” “The supporters have been absolutely incredible for us this year, and to see them disappointed at the end hurts badly. They will be disappointed today, and we’ve got a very difficult next game to come.

Eddie Howe thinks his Newcastle United side 'gave everything' to try and get back in the game against Manchester United.

Games are decided by small margins so we need to improve and hopefully we can enjoy more days like this." Howe said: "I'm sorry we couldn't deliver for the fans today. They've been committed and give everything for the club." We should have defended the free-kick better and then the second goal is a killer. We had chances but couldn't take them and that's why we lost.

CRAIG HOPE: Eddie Howe wants to use the pain of defeat in the Carabao Cup final to drive Newcastle back to Wembley in the future.

‘They will be disappointed today, and we’ve got a very difficult next game to come (Man City away on Saturday). I thought we didn't get the big moments right defensively and with the chances we did have, we weren't clinical enough. ‘We’re left with a feeling of defeat in the final, which is never nice, and we’re desperately disappointed,’ he said.

Newcastle United's trip to Wembley saw them followed by tens of thousands of passionate fans before being undone by Manchester United in the Carabao Cup ...

The League Cup in 1976 and this jolt to get better. Those fans earned their return to the top table, even if their team hasn’t just yet. Half a million miles travelled, and nothing to show. The 1969 Fairs Cup win in Europe - 54 years ago and days before man walked on the moon - remains their most recent success. The United coach delivered a harsh verdict as Newcastle lost their fifth consecutive Wembley final and their trophy drought dating back to 1969 continues. But it’s ruthless, world class talent on the pitch that collects silverware, and Eddie Howe’s side - only £250m and eight players into a rebuild from relegation - haven’t yet got enough.

He said: “It is a process, we want to be here on a regular basis. Still reflecting on the Wembley clash, Howe felt his team stayed in the game despite falling behind but they could not find a way past David De Gea after the break.
