Derby day final on the cards if United can bounce back

League Cup

Barring a footballing miracle, should United bounce back in the League Cup and book a ticket to Wembley, they will face a Manchester derby date against bitter rivals City.

The Citizens all but ensured their spot in the showpiece final with a 6-0 demolition of West Ham United on Wednesday evening.

Maintaining their silverware charge on four fronts, City sealed victory thanks to a Alvaro Negredo hat-trick, a brace from Edin Dzeko and a Yaya Toure goal.

The result heaps more woe on Hammers boss Sam Allardyce after his side were also thumped 5-0 at Nottingham Forest on the weekend in an FA Cup horror show.

United now know that, if they can overturn a single-goal deficit in the second-leg against Sunderland on January 22nd, they look certain to face a mouth-watering Manchester derby in the English capital.

David Moyes' men presently trail Sunderland 2-1 following Tuesday evening's first-leg at the Stadium of Light.
