Carabao Cup: Manchester United Edge Closer Towards Final

Manchester United are well on course to the Carabao Cup final following a 3-0 mauling of Nottingham Forest at the City Ground Stadium in the semifinal first leg.

Three goals from Rashford, Weghorst and Fernandes set United a huge step towards the final.

Marcus Rashford continued his impressive form as his nets his tenth goal in ten games — the English striker ran from inside his own half taking on defenders before blasting the ball in for the opener.

Sam Surridge thought he had equalized after the 23 minutes but his goal was adjudged to be offside by the video assistant referee.

New signing Wout Weghorst netted his first goal for the Red Devils on the stroke of halftime when he tapped in a rebounce.

Bruno Fernandes drilled in a late third from the edge of the box to complete an impressive win for the rejuvenated United under the Dutch technician.

The victory became the joint-biggest win by an away side in the first leg of a Carabao Cup semifinal.

As things stand Manchester United are very much on track to Wembley ahead of the second leg.
