Nottm forest vs man united

THE CITY GROUND, NOTTINGHAM — Manchester United took a massive step towards a first Carabao Cup final since 2016/17, defeating Nottingham Forest 3-0 in their semifinal first leg. Marcus Rashford, Wout Weghorst and Bruno Fernandes were the heroes on the night for United, who are looking to end a six-year trophy drought. Forest, meanwhile, will need a monumental shock in next week's return leg at Old Trafford — where they lost 3-0 in the league a month ago — to have any chance of making a first final since 1991/92.

Add CNET Shopping Nottingham Forest will look to arrest an alarming slide into the relegation zone, as they host top-four chasing Man United on Sunday in a potentially crucial game for both sides in the English Premier League. Winless and without a clean sheet in nine games, second from bottom Forest look in free fall, with their hopes of survival jeopardized by a mounting injury list. Willy Boly, Giulian Biancone, Dean Henderson, Renan Lodi, Omar Richards, Gustavo Scarpa and Chris Wood are all definitely ruled out of this game, while Serge Aurier, Cheikhou Kouyaté, Moussa Niakhaté and Ryan Yates are all considered doubtful. United, who let a two-goal lead slip against Sevilla on Thursday in the Europa League, are also somewhat battle-scarred, with the blow of losing Marcus Rashford for an extended injury lay-off compounded further by the loss of defenders Lisandro Martínez and Raphaël Varane for this game.
