Manchester United will be aiming to complete the second part of an incredible quintuple when they face holders Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday's Carling Cup Final.

While Spurs will be out to win what would be their only silverware of the season, United will step out at Wembley having already won the World Club Championship and with the Premiership title, the FA Cup and the Champions League all within their sights.

England striker Wayne Rooney, set to start the Final after playing only eight minutes as substitute in Tuesday's goalless Champions League draw at Inter Milan, said: "It will be hard work to win them, all but that's what we're aiming to do.

"We are stronger than we were last season, when we won the double (Premiership and Champions League), and winning the Champions League has given us added confidence and belief.

"After the Inter Milan game we were all trying to name the team for Sunday because everyone wants to play. The Carling Cup was the first trophy I won with United, but that was in Cardiff and I want badly to win it again at Wembley."

Rooney's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, is equally as determined to win what will be the 25th major Final of his managerial career. "The winning mentality in the club is why we have been successful," said Ferguson, "so it's important for us to keep on winning and we want to win on Sunday.

"When you go to Wembley it's a real occasion and you want to come away with good memories - and the only way you can do that is by winning."

United will be favourites to lift the trophy for the third time in seven League Cup Finals. It will also be a seventh Final for Tottenham, who have won it four times and who have an excellent League Cup record against United having won five of the six meetings between the two clubs in the competition.

So as they prepare to take on their old adversaries in the competition's 49th Final, Spurs will have no inferiority complex despite their reletively poor season to date and a recent record of just one win in their last five League and Cup outings while United have won 11 of their last 12.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp, who led to Portsmouth to victory in last season's FA Cup Final and switched to White Hart Lane earlier this term, said: "The pressure isn't on us and we can go and give it everything - and we're certainly capable of winning.

"This side is capable of playing very well and hopefully we'll do that on Sunday. It would be lovely to win some silverware in my first season and if we do then hopefully it will be a springboard for us."

Tottenham are still in the battle against relegation that they were in when Redknapp took over, but their fears have been eased since the turning point of their season - the incredible Carling Cup semi-final victory over Championship side Burnley.

In one of the stories of the season, Spurs - after winning 4-1 in their home leg - seemed to be going out of the competition with Burnley 3-0 up in the second leg and set to go through on away goals with only two minutes of extra time remaining. Two late, late goals took Spurs through, however, and Redknapp admitted: "If we had gone out, we would have been in desperate trouble because I don't know how we'd have recovered.

"It would have been the shame of it all and it would certainly have been very difficult for us to have lifted ourselves. It was just amazing that we got to the Final."

Amazing or not, to the Final they got and perhaps after that closer than close call at Turf Moor they are destined to win at Wembley for the second successive season. "If our name is on the cup I would be delighted," said Redknapp.
