Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd LIVE score: Updates from Carabao Cup semi-final after Rashford and Weghorst goals
Erik ten Hag targets silverware in Carabao Cup
Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag is determined to end the club’s wait for a trophy as his side take on Nottingham Forest in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup tonight. United last picked up silverware in 2017 when they were triumphant in the Europa League final under then boss Jose Mourinho but Ten Hag is confident that he can lead the Red Devils to silverware this season.
United are the only Premier League side still competing in all four competitions, yet the Carabao Cup remains their best chance at winning a trophy. Big hitters such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal have all been eliminated with Newcastle United the favourites over Southampton to progress from the other semi-final following their 1-0 win in the first leg last night.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have had to wait even longer for a shot at winning some silverware. Although they won the Championship play-off trophy last season, you have to journey back to the 1980s and 90s for Forest’s most recent success in the League Cup. Steve Cooper’s side have a four point gap over the Premier League relegation zone so can afford to field a strong side for their home leg this evening. Will they be able to shock Erik ten Hag’s flying Red Devils?

Nottm Forest 0-3 Man Utd
90 mins: Three minutes of added time to play.
The goal from Bruno Fernandes will be enough for Manchester United to comfortably win this game but it should also secure the Red Devils a trip to Wembley.
It’ll be incredibly difficult for Nottingham Forest to score three goals at Old Trafford without reply.

GOAL! Nottm Forest 0-3 Man Utd (Fernandes, 89’)⚽️
89 mins: That should be that now. Bruno Fernandes threads a lovely ball into the feet of Pellistri who carries the ball into the box. He tries to set up a shot but loses the ball and it bobbles over to substitute Anthony Elanga.
Elanga flicks the ball into the path of the arriving Fernandes who drills a shot past Wayne Hennessey on the half-volley.

81 mins: Another goal for Manchester United would probably kill off this tie but they don’t seem overly keen to push for one and potential let this two-goal cushion slip.
Nottingham Forest have to try and get one back before the final whistle.

78 mins: Nearly! A sweeping diagonal ball out to the right wing sees Facundo Pellistri bring the ball under control and squirt up to the side of the box.
He whips over a decent cross that Wout Weghorst wins in the air but nods wide of the back post!

75 mins: Manchester United are controlling the ball well. They’re knocking it around with confidence and retreating to try and open gaps up in the Nottingham Forest defence.
The home side look a little tired now. They need a reset before pushing for a goal in the last 10 minutes or so.
