Neville: Carling Cup win can lead to more success

Gary Neville believes winning the Carling Cup final win can be a springboard to further success this season.

If last season is anything to go by, Neville has a strong case. After winning the cup last February, United went on to win an 18th league title and reach the final of the Champions League.

It was also the first trophy won by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney in their United careers, and the taste of success led to 3 consecutive league titles and a host of other trophies along the way.

“People may say it’s the lesser of the cup competitions but I think this can be a springboard for us to go on and be more successful,” Neville told MUTV. “It’s proved to be in previous years and hopefully it will be again this season.”

“This competition has been really good to us in the last few years, and it’s great to get a medal around your neck this early in the season,” added Neville.

The United skipper insists they can’t afford to get caught up in the joy of winning the Carling Cup with so many important games still to play.

If it was the last game in the season, we’d all be delirious. But there’s so much still to play for.

“We go to Wolves on Saturday, hopefully with all our players back fit from the internationals, and then we’ve obviously got a big game against Milan.

“Fulham and Liverpool are coming up too and we have to win every game in the league. Nobody’s pulling away in the title race but now it’s time for us to step up and go for it.”
