02 Mar 2006 CARLING CUP VICTORY EARNS REDS F&C AWARD
Manchester United’s emphatic 4-0 win over Wigan Athletic in the Carling Cup Final last Sunday has won them this week’s F&C Performance of the Week Award.
Sir Alec Ferguson will receive the specially engraved crystal football in a presentation to be screened on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday this weekend.
Manchester United hit Wigan with a second-half salvo to win 4-0 and claim the League Cup for the second time.
Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased to give the Glazer family their first trophy since they took over Manchester United.
With three members of the Glazer family witnessing victory in Cardiff, Ferguson said: "I'm delighted for them, they have put a lot of money in.
"I don't so much feel relief that we have won a trophy, more an assuredness in knowing we could win this cup.
"Any trophy you win is important and we're delighted. We've been criticised but we've never devalued this cup."
