VAR will be in operation during Manchester United’s Carabao Cup semi-final tie with Nottingham Forest across both legs.
The technology was not in use in previous rounds but will be used in both the last four stage and the final itself. The no-VAR ruling was in operation for all teams in former rounds, unlike the FA Cup where grounds that can facilitate the system are allowed to use it.
The Carabao Cup strived for consistency across all prior rounds so opted against implementing VAR but will use the technology for the first time ever from the semi-finals onwards with all four remaining clubs able to accommodate it.
