Yahoo Movies Man Utd 2-0 Nottingham Forest LIVE! Fred goal - Carabao Cup result, match stream and latest updates today
Second-half goals from Anthony Martial and Fred earned Manchester United a comfortable 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday to secure a 5-0 aggregate win and a place in the Carabao Cup final.
January signing Wout Weghorst almost followed his goal in the first leg with another in an opening period of few clear-cut chances, heading a pinpoint Casemiro cross against the post at Old Trafford.
United manager Erik ten Hag sent top scorer Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Martial on in the second half to try to put the tie to bed and the French forward scuffed home the opener in the 73rd minute.
Brazilian Fred put the icing on the cake three minutes later, tapping in at the far post to book his team a final date with Newcastle United on Feb. 26.
In his first season at the club, ten Hag could end United’s longest trophy drought in 40 years should his team beat Eddie Howe’s men at Wembley.

Sancho back in contention
19:47 , Jonathan Gorrie
A very pleasing sight to see the winger on the bench for United today.
If Sancho can get back to the kind of player he was at Dortmund, Erik ten Hag could have quite some attacking line in the second half of the season.
Jesse Lingard sends warning to Manchester United
19:20 , Jonathan Gorrie
The former United hero has warned his ex-teammates that the tie is not yet over.
“We have to have the belief factor about us, and the hunger to go and win,” he said.
“I think anything is possible. Of course they are a good team and are playing really well this season, but we have to find that belief.”

Ten Hag sends trophy message to Man United fans after FA Cup win
18:52 , Jonathan Gorrie
Erik ten Hag says Manchester United are “building” towards winning trophies after a brilliant week in cup competitions.
While the Dutchman was critical of his team following the Premier League loss to Arsenal that seemingly ended their hopes a title challenge, United have made progress in the few days since.
Already, they have one foot in the Carabao Cup final after beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 in the first-leg, while Friday saw United overcome Reading to reach the FA Cup fifth-round.
£106.8m Fernandez is CHEAPER than Lingard, Gallagher and Fred on FPL
18:34 , Jonathan Gorrie
Enzo Fernandez will enter Fantasy Premier League with a miserly price tag of £5million.
The new Chelsea signing cost a whopping £106.8m when signing on transfer deadline day from Benfica, a new British record.
But the FPL boffins have decided to cut his price drastically in comparison to many other midfielders in the game.
Fernandez’s base price is the same as new teammates N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic, although both of their stock has fallen due to injury issues this season, as well as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Denis Zakaria.
Newcastle await!
18:27 , Jonathan Gorrie
Newcastle’s win over Southampton on Tuesday has taken them to Wembley, awaiting the winner.
Barring a collapse, Manchester United will be heading into the final later this month for a heavyweight fixture.
Startling agent comments show why ‘killer’ Sabitzer is perfect for Man United
18:17 , Jonathan Gorrie
Erik ten Hag’s desperate desire to return Manchester United to glory could be receiving its ideal new component in the form of Marcel Sabitzer.
The Austrian midfielder completed a loan move to the Red Devils late on transfer deadline day to cover for Christian Eriksen’s three-month injury absence.
Sabitzer, 28, has been something of a bit-part player at Bayern Munich this season and arrives at United determined to earn a regular spot in the line-up, as comments from agent Roger Wittmann reveal.
Manchester United hit with major Christian Eriksen injury blow
17:59 , Jonathan Gorrie
Manchester United have confirmed Christian Eriksen will be out of action for up to four months.
The Danish international was forced off during Friday’s 3-1 FA Cup win over Reading with an ankle injury following a challenge from Andy Carroll, who was later sent off for two bookings.
Eriksen was withdrawn shortly after and was spotted leaving Old Trafford wearing a protective boot.
Sabitzer reveals why he took ‘quick’ decision to join Man United as loan confirmed
17:46 , Jonathan Gorrie
Marcel Sabitzer has revealed he needed very little time to think about accepting the opportunity to sign for Manchester United.
The Premier League club completed a loan deal for the Bayern Munich midfielder on deadline day after losing Christian Eriksen to an ankle injury.
Sabitzer told the club website: “Sometimes in life you have to make quick and important decisions.
“From the moment I heard about this opportunity I knew it was right for me. I am a competitive player; I want to win and help the club achieve its aims this season.
Prediction: Man United to win 1-0
17:34 , Jonathan Gorrie
Given the size of United’s lead, it’s likely they will look to contain Forest.
With that in mind, it’s hard to see them scoring quite as many this time around, with ten Hag’s side looking to take the sting out of the game early on.
Man United to win 1-0.
Nottingham Forest: Navas and Wood not available
17:33 , Jonathan Gorrie
For Forest, Chris Wood is cup-tied while the injured Dean Henderson would not have been able to play anyway. Wayne Hennessey will start in goal despite Keylor Navas’ deadline-day arrival.
It will be interesting to see how seriously or not Steve Cooper takes the tie. With the game surely gone, perhaps Forest will rest players to instead focus on their Premier League campaign.
Manchester United team news: Jadon Sancho could feature
17:32 , Jonathan Gorrie
Ten Hag is expected to rotate, such is the strength of United’s lead. Alejandro Garnacho, Harry Maguire, Fred and Victor Lindelof are all among those who could play, while Jadon Sancho has returned to training.
Christian Eriksen, however, is now facing up to four months out of action with ankle injury, joining Scott McTominay on the sidelines. New signing Marcel Sabitzer is not eligable to play.
