Manchester United are just one match away from booking their first final under Erik ten Hag, facing Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.

After a 3-0 victory in the first leg at the City Ground, Manchester United welcome Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag looks to win his 11th fixture in a row at the ground.

Speaking on Tuesday ahead of the fixture, Ten Hag said: “We are here playing a semi-final and we have a perfect chance to go to Wembley, to bring a trophy in. Therefore, we have to focus and therefore we have to gather the energy and gather the good game plan for tomorrow and I think it is all about that.

“You have to do it with the players who are available and that is a strong team that will come on tomorrow and I think we are in momentum, we are in good process and we have to keep that going from the momentum and we want to develop this team further on. Tomorrow we want to take the next step and we are approaching a real good team.

“The games before with Forest, they are in a really good run and we have to be aware of that. Forest have a good team, they have a real good depth in that squad and from that they can bring a good team and they can do things different. We have to be prepared for that and it is all about that.”
