Will Cristiano Ronaldo get a medal if Manchester United win the Carabao Cup?

The Portuguese superstar left Old Trafford in November

Following an angry interview with Piers Morgan in which he lambasted Erik ten Hag and the Glazers' management of Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo left Old Trafford in November.

Due to the remarks, Ronaldo's contract was terminated; nevertheless, given that he played six games in Group E for the Red Devils before leaving, some have questioned whether he would be qualified to receive a winner's medal.

The former Juventus played joined Manchester United in 2021-22. He scored 18 goals in his return to the club, but United’s failure to qualify for Champions League Ronaldo forced himself out of the but no suitor arrived as the players remained at Old Trafford.

The five-time winner of the Ballon d'Or did not play for Manchester United in the EFL Cup this season, So, it looks uncertain Ronaldo receiving a medal, although. It's going to be down to Manchester United, though.

According to rule 11.03 on the UEFA website, the winning team will get 40 medals to distribute among the playing and coaching staff; no further awards will be made.

Moreover, UEFA does not impose an appearance restriction on medals, unlike other events. Meanwhile, FA doesn't have such rules.

Consequently, Manchester United can send one to Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, though it is unclear if Manchester United and Ten Hag would agree considering how tumultuous their relationship ended.

It's interesting to note that if Manchester United wins the EFL Cup and decides to award Ronaldo a medal, it will be his third medal as he has already won two in 2006 and 2009.

Naturally, the 38-year-old has not played in any EFL matches for United, and its unlikely the striker will receive a medal as a player should have few appearances in the tournament to receive a medal.

Yet a champion like Ronaldo would undoubtedly accept the chance to add the medal to his incredible collection, so if Manchester United does win the EFL Cup against Newcastle.

Will Martin Dubravka will also get a medal?

Martin Dubravka was called back by Newcastle United following his 6-month loan spell at Old Trafford. But the goalkeeper s cup tied to the Red Devils as he made 2 appearances in the competition for the club.

According to the rules of the competition, if Newcastle loses to Manchester United in the final, the goalkeeper will also earn a Carabao Cup winners medal.
