Harry Maguire has insisted that Manchester United must continue to win the Carabao Cup after reaching the semi-final with the victory over Everton.
Ole Gunnar Solskjer’s men will face archrival City in the final four after beating Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.
Late goals from Edinson Cavani, who controversially escaped a red card earlier in the game for grabbing Yerry Mina by the neck, and Anthony Martial sent United.
United are now just two wins away from lifting the Carabao Cup, but Maguire stressed that their achievement will be useless if they don’t win the competition.
Following Wednesday’s win, the United boss said: ‘When you play for Manchester United you hope to win trophies, this year we reached our first semi-final in our first competition, but now it’s about winning the big games and lifting trophies for this club. . .
“It’s always a difficult place to come and there were fans in the stadium who added a bit of atmosphere.
“We fully deserved the victory in the end and we are glad that he did not go to penalties.
“It was an excellent performance, we started the game very well.
“We should have been leading after 20 minutes, we probably should have been out of sight, we had three or four great chances and we have to be a little more clinical, but we kept going and we kept moving forward.”
Maguire reserved praise for striker Cavani, who was lucky to remain on the field after colliding with Everton defender Mina early in the second half.
The English international added: “I always felt like we would have another chance and Edinson (Cavani) made a great final and we went on to the next round, which is the most important thing.
“ He was excellent with his weak foot, we know he does it week after week in training.
‘He’s obviously had a little injury that has kept him out of the previous games, so it’s good to have him back, it’s good to have him around.
it’s good to have him back. He’s a great striker and you can see what he’s all about, so it’s great to have him in place. ‘
