Cristiano Ronaldo won’t get a medal should Manchester United beat Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final today. The Red Devils go into the game at Wembley hoping to win a first major trophy since 2017 after impressing under Erik ten Hag so far. However, their former striker won’t be adding to his silverware haul in the event of a United win in the capital.
Some have been wondering whether Ronaldo would be in line to receive a medal should United claim the prize.
But the answer to that is no.
In order to be eligible for a medal, you need to have played in at least one match during the course of the competition.
And Ronaldo didn’t take to the field during the tournament, meaning he’s not set to add to his enviable trophy collection.

United started their charge to Wembley back in November with a stirring 4-2 victory over Aston Villa, who had beaten them in the league days previously.

The 38-year-old did, however, win the League Cup with United in his first stint as a Red. He scored in the final of the 2005/2006 campaign in a 4-0 win against Wigan Athletic, and then again in 2009 when the Reds defeated Tottenham Hotspur on penalties.
Today’s final kicks off at 4.30 pm GMT at Wembley Stadium, with United looking to end their six-year trophy drought.
