Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka will be eligible to receive a Carabao Cup winner's medal following Manchester United's victory at Wembley Stadium.
Dubravka spent the first half of the season on loan at Old Trafford but would only go on to make two appearances for the Reds. His limited minutes at United came in the League Cup.
He was in goal for the 4-2 victory over Aston Villa and kept a clean sheet in the fourth round win over Vincent Kompany's Burnley. Due to his time at United, Dubravka was cup-tied for the final which proved to be a huge problem when Nick Pope was sent off last weekend in the Premier League against Liverpool.

With Newcastle's two first-choice goalkeepers out, Loris Karius was given the nod for the final. But he was powerless to stop United at Wembley.
After half an hour, the Reds took the lead through a Casemiro header. Five minutes later Marcus Rashford's strike was deflected into his own goal by Sven Botman to double United's advantage.
While Dubravka will no doubt be disappointed for his current teammates, he could still receive a winner's medal. EFL rules state that 30 medals will be given to the winning club for their participating players.
United have only used 27 players in the competition, including Dubravka, meaning in theory he could be given a medal. The rule states: "In addition to the cup, the Management Committee shall present 30 souvenirs to the winning club in the final tie and 30 souvenirs to the losing club.
"Additional souvenirs may be presented with the consent of the Management Committee but shall be at the cost of the requesting club."
