Summary of the English League Cup: Nottingham Forest - Manchester United 3:0 (Sport1)
Manchester United continues to get closer to the first title since 2017. Tonight (Wednesday), Erik ten Haag's team took a giant step towards the League Cup final when they beat Nottingham Forest 0:3 away in the first leg of the semi-final and set up a significant advance for themselves heading into the second leg.
Precisely after the great victory in the derby came two setbacks away in the league, against Crystal Palace and against Arsenal, but this time the Red Devils celebrated outside Old Trafford.
The person responsible above all for this was of course Marcus Rashford, with his tenth goal in ten games since the World Cup break.
Already in the sixth minute, the Englishman provided an exciting slalom from his half of the field to the Forrest square and defeated Wayne Hennessy.

Sam Sarriage subbed David de Gea in the 23rd minute and imitated Cristiano Ronaldo's new celebration, only to be disappointed when the VAR disallowed the goal following his small deflection.
Just before the break, in the 45th minute, the last acquisition Vout and Horst doubled the lead and scored his first goal as a Manchester United player.
Antoni's kick was stopped by Hennessy, the Dutchman had space to kick the rebound into the net from close range.
In the 89th minute, Bruno Fernandes completed the celebration with a sharp and flat kick to the far corner.
The Red Devils will host the second leg at Old Trafford next Wednesday, hoping to secure their place in the final at Wembley next month without getting into trouble.
In the second semi-final held yesterday, Newcastle beat Southampton 0:1 away, and will also hope to complete the task in the rematch on their home court.
