8 great Manchester pubs where you can watch Man Utd take on Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final
Manchester United take on Newcastle United at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday - here are eight great places to watch the match in Manchester.
Manchester United are making the trip to Wembley this weekend to take on Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final and football fans who haven’t managed to get tickets will be looking for somewhere to watch the red half of the city battle for silverware.
Fortunately there are no shortage of places across Manchester which will be showing all the action as Erik ten Hag’s side attempt to lift the trophy.
From more traditional boozers to swanky sports bars, and from city centre watering holes to died-in-the-wool red havens close to the club’s Old Trafford stadium, there are plenty of options for fans looking to catch the action over a few drinks.
Here ManchesterWorld has rounded up eight places where we think football fans should head this weekend to enjoy (or endure) all the nerve-racking excitement from Wembley. The Carabao Cup final is on Sunday (26 February) kicking off at 4.30pm.
