Manchester United reaches Wembley, beats Hull in League Cup semifinals

Manchester United gave Jose Mourinho the gift of Wembley on his 54th birthday, ousting Hull in the League Cup semifinals to reach the title game following a 3-2 aggregate triumph.

Southampton, which beat Liverpool on a 2-0 aggregate, will be waiting in the final at Wembley Stadium on Feb. 26.

Manchester United carried a 2-0 lead into the second leg at Hull, but Tom Huddlestone's first-half penalty kick sliced that deficit in half and brought the Tigers back to life.

Paul Pogba restored the two-goal lead, though, and gave United the bonus of an away goal, as he poked home from close range.
