Wout Weghorst makes "lucky" admission after Man Utd's win over Nottingham Forest

Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst admitted the Red Devils were fortunate to see Nottingham Forest's goal chalked off by VAR during the first-leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.

Forest thought they had scored an all important equaliser against the Red Devils after Marcus Rashford had opened the scoring with a delightful solo effort, but Sam Surridge was deemed offside just before he guided his strike beyond David de Gea. The decision prompted fury among the home faithful packed inside the City Ground.

In the end, further goals from Weghorst and Bruno Fernandes meant United came away with a 3-0 win and one foot already in the final, with the second-leg at Old Trafford still to play.
