Jose Mourinho conceded Manchester United had been fortunate to beat Southampton in the EFL Cup final but that he was relieved to have won his first trophy at the club.
The United manager also again praised the contribution of their matchwinner Zlatan Ibrahimovic, before insisting he had no plans to "beg" the striker to sign a new contract.
Their 3-2 victory at Wembley Stadium not only brought Mourinho level on four League Cup victories with Sir Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough, but it made him the club's first ever manager to win a major trophy in his first season there.
