Man Utd 2-0 Forest (5-0 agg): Red Devils set Carabao Cup final tie vs Newcastle

Manchester United completed a Carabao Cup semi-final victory over Nottingham Forest to set up a Wembley final with Newcastle United on 26 February.

Manchester United led 3-0 after last week's first leg at the City Ground.

Wout Weghorst nearly stretched their lead just before half-time but headed against the post from Casemiro's cross.

Substitute Anthony Martial scored from 10 yards out after 73 minutes, before Fred added a second from close range to secure a Wembley place.

United have not won a trophy since their Europa League success under Jose Mourinho in 2017 and have since lost in both the FA Cup final in 2018 and Europa League final in 2021.
