OLD Trafford's bulging trophy cabinets received another delivery on Monday night after United defeated Bolton Wanderers to claim the Manchester Senior Cup.

Barely 24 hours after the first team had retained the Premier League title at Wigan it was over to the reserves to grab the silverware with a record 28th Senior Cup triumph.

Both sides placed the emphasis firmly on attack, but it was Wanderers who carried the greater threat with Temitope Obadeyi and skipper Jaroslaw Fojut both going close in the opening ten minutes.

The game's attacking theme continued after the break, but neither side were having much luck in front of goal until the 79th minute when Danny Welbeck slid the ball home past Brocklehurst after beating Wanderers defence to Michael Barnes' right wing cross.

Wanderers almost claimed a late equaliser following an almighty scramble in the United goalmouth when the ball was twice cleared from the line. The resulting over-zealous appeals from the Wanderers' players led to Rob Sissons being sent off after receiving a second yellow card.

Brazilian youngster Rodrigo Possebon sealed United's victory in the last minute with well struck drive at the Stretford End.

UNITED: Zieler, Gray, Cleverley, Chester, Eckersley, Hewson, Bafrnes, Possebon, Welbeck, Eagles, S Evans.

Subs not used: Fagan, Amos, Macheda, James, Drinkwater.

BOLTON: Brocklehurst, Cassidy, Carlisle, Sissons, Fojut, Basham, Thompson (McGeechan 85), Burns, Obadeyi (Harsanyi 64), Wolze (Sheridan 78), Smith.

Subs not used: McGeechan, Riley.

SIR Alex Ferguson has won the League Managers' Association Manager of the Year award after leading United to a 10th Premier League title.
