Manchester United vs. Nottingham Forest final score

Goals:

MUN—Martial—73rd min
MUN—Fred—76th min

Despite the urgent need to grab a footing in the tie through a goal, Forest, who saw former United player Jesse Lingard withdraw out of the starting eleven soon before kickoff, were willing to sit back and wait for their opportunities on the break. Early on, United, for their part, was content to play keepball.Alejandro Garnacho of United had the most talent in the opening period. The youngster, who started in place of Marcus Rashford, was a threat to Forest's right flank with his straight running and was only let down by some inaccuracy with the last ball.When Casemiro was set up by Luke Shaw, there was no problem, but Wayne Hennessey's foot stopped Casemiro's header. Soon after, Brennan Johnson attempted to make his way into the United box but was stopped by United shot-stopper replacement Tom Heaton. The greatest job Casemiro did was in the attacking third.

One accurate cross found Wout Weghorst, whose header rebounded off the post. The Brazilian appeared overly eager to rush into sliding tackles on the muddy field in his own half, which allowed Forest some chance to respond through Emmanuel Dennis, who would have scored but for Sam Surridge's ability to block his volley.For a spell in the second half, the play was end-to-end, and Weghorst definitely ought to have been given a penalty when Scott McKenna attacked his shin while attempting to clear the ball. While reviewing an off-the-ball incident involving Garnacho and Johnson that had no bearing on the game, VAR did not look at it.

Jadon Sancho, who was making his first appearance since late October, received a thunderous ovation from the stadium as Erik ten Hag presented Martial, Rashford, and him off the bench. All three appeared to be in good shape, but Martial made the decisive strike by hammering the ball home with his left foot after Rashford's attempt had been stopped by his errant pass.

Three minutes later, Rashford made a direct change from receiver to giver, sending the ball back across goal in response to Bruno Fernandes' pretty excellent trivela cross. As he pushed the ball in with his thigh, Fred, who was the only other player in the six-yard box, could scarcely believe his good fortune.It created a festive environment for the home crowd at the competition's conclusion, and they will be hoping that the winter comes to an end with a trophy after United won it in 2017.
