Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag looks set to lead the Red Devils into the League Cup final following a first-leg victory over Nottingham Forest and has ticked off one of his early targets at the club in the process.
United cruised to a dominant 3-0 win at the City Ground on Thursday evening - goals coming from the in-form Marcus Rashford, Wout Weghorst and Bruno Fernandes. Allowing for a dramatic collapse at Old Trafford in next week’s second-leg, the Red Devils are now just 90 minutes from claiming their first piece of silverware since 2017.
Whilst the victory in the East-Midlands was relatively straight-forward, the nature of the performance was praised by Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez. The World Cup winner hailed his teammates for the way they controlled proceedings against Forest.
