Nottingham Forest receive transfer demand after Carabao Cup tie with Man United confirmed

Nottingham Forest will face Manchester United in the Carabao Cup semi-final over two legs.

The Reds overcame Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 4-3 penalty shootout win at the City Ground on Wednesday night. Steve Cooper's side scored the opening goal through former Wolves man Willy Boly before Raul Jimenez equalised shortly after the hour mark.

With the game ending in a 1-1 draw, the teams battled for a place in the semi-final via a penalty shootout. Wolves walked away empty handed after captain Ruben Neves and Joe Hodge were denied by Dean Henderson with Forest in the final four of the League Cup for the first time since 1992.

The United loanee was once again in the spotlight after his heroics to send Forest to the next round and set up a clash against his parent club. He will however, not be allowed to feature given he is on loan from Erik ten Hag's side.

Here is how the Reds faithful responded...

Connor Storer-Fry: "No Hendo for both semi final legs."

AWUTF: "Just clocked we don't have Dean Henderson for the United games. We need to sign a keeper."

Fishman36: "Sign Henderson this window. He then plays."

Rob Marron: "Look on the bright side, Hendo available for the final."

McTricky: "So Hendo back for the final. All good."

Nirbhai Singh: "Hendo being rested for the final. Anything can happen over two legs… If ever a game had a player's name on it."

Em McGee: "Can we buy Hendo tomorrow?"

Danny: "Hendo gets motm, only to miss next round."

James: "Let's just buy Henderson so he can play."

Wilko: "We have Hennesey in goal over two legs lol."

Rob: "Watch Marinakis go and buy another goalkeeper first thing tomorrow morning."

Ant Lord: "Time to buy Hendo! No way can Hennessey play over 2 legs against United!"
