"Playing in the Euro 2016 final was very important for me and my career. It's a game that I will always remember," Cedric told the club's website (www.southamptonfc.com).
"These kind of games make you stronger as a player, make you more prepared for matches where the pressure is so high... to have another final within a year, just makes me feel better."
Cedric also felt the onus would be on United, who have won the League Cup four times, to dictate terms on Sunday.
"Of course, we have a little less responsibility for the game than Manchester United. They are a very big name in football. Everybody knows about them," he added.
"They have great players and a great squad, with a great coach. But we must prepare for the game and believe in what we do... We have players who can make a difference."
