Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has warned his players that they need to be fully focused on defeating Nottingham Forest, rather than thinking about lifting the Carabao Cup.
The Reds clash with Steve Cooper's men in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on Wednesday night, with United just three matches away from winning their first trophy since 2017. Ten Hag's side are widely regarded as favourites to win the Carabao Cup this term, but a tie with the much-improved Forest will not be easy.
Ten Hag won three Eredivisie titles, two Dutch Cups and the Dutch Super Cup during his time with Ajax. The Dutchman will be desperate to win a trophy in his first season with United, but he is keen for his players to remain focused on the task at hand.
