Confirmed line-ups: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United (Carabao Cup)

Manchester United and Nottingham Forest are set to face off in the Carabao Cup semi-final.

Erik ten Hag and Manchester United are looking to put one foot in the door to gaining a ticket to the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, due to take place at the end of February.

Speaking ahead of the fixture, Erik ten Hag said: “It’s about that, it’s about winning trophies. We have a good opportunity, but we have to go from game to game. So now we play Forest, two legs, so focus on the first leg and don’t think further ahead because that will distract. So, the only aim for tomorrow is win that game.”

He continued, saying: “I think the fans here, they have some experience (of winning trophies), especially the older ones. And now it’s a period when Manchester United didn’t win trophies and it’s too long ago, so we are aware of that fact and we have to do everything to bring a trophy in.

“It gives you confidence. Once you are winning trophies, that gives you confidence that you know how you do it. And also in the difficult moments, how you stay in the game, how you stay in the game to win games, that you know the chances will come, that you know what you have to do for it, to get there.”
