‘This is something we could discuss! as Man Utd boss reveals why Chelsea should shun Carabao Cup
Chelsea progressed to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup after beating Brentford 2-0 on Wednesday night. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are the other teams to make it to the semi-finals.
However, Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has suggested Chelsea and other Premier League clubs should no longer be involved in the Carabao Cup as he expressed his concern over the congested fixture schedule in England.
Rangnick said: “England is the only top league that plays two cup competitions. In France they abolished the second one.
“This is something we could speak about and discuss. The League Cup is still kept for the third and fourth division teams to improve the financial situations of those clubs. But in a tight calendar with too many games, this is something to speak and discuss.
“The other thing is the FA Cup and the replays. That’s been changed and that’s a good thing. In other countries you never have replays, those are topics we could speak about.”
