It was never in doubt after two goals in a three-minute spell midway through the first half.

Manchester United win it 3-0, thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and a late third from substitute Fred.

United stay fifth, but are one point behind fourth-placed Tottenham and have a game in hand on Antonio Conte's side. Forest remain in the bottom three.

Nottingham Forest very much don't need an injury to Brennan Johnson, but he's stretching himself and walking around very carefully.

Manchester United have so far attempted 610 passes in this game, their highest total in a single match in the Premier League this season.

Eteyen: Honestly, Casemiro is actually something else. I genuinely didn't realise how good this man was despite his many accolades. We really lucked out getting him at United.

Forest's Brennan Johnson looks to break through, but Luke Shaw, looking solid as a makeshift left-sided centre half, does well to get a foot in.

Five minutes of injury time.

Manchester United have scored five goals via substitutes in the Premier League this season, no team has more.

That's why Casemiro is my man of the match. He has been fantastic in stopping Forest attacking. He sees the picture quicker than anyone else. He looks up, he picks the pass. He strides forward and puts it into Fred's path. He just reads the game so well. Good finish also. Game over.

Colin: Man United's lack of a killer instinct could cost them a top four place! Should have had five or six tonight! Desperately need a 20+ goal scorer in the transfer window.

When Casemiro steps forward, the pitch opens up for him and then the delivery of the pass is really good. It's all about the pass from Casemiro, that touch of class. Manchester United see it home.

Another change incoming for Manchester United. On is Anthony Elanga and off is Marcus Rashford - a truly deserved standing ovation for the England man who leaves with a goal and an assist to his name.

No player has created more chances from open play in the Premier League this season than Bruno Fernandes (32).

Brennan Johnson, on Forest's right wing, sends in a low cross but Casemiro is there in the correct place to divert it behind for a corner.

Luke Shaw then has to hook the ball away from almost underneath his own crossbar.

Manchester United should be away and clear, with three points guaranteed, but Forest still have a bit of hope with 10 minutes to go, although they need something very, very special to salvage anything from this one.

RegularJon: Pleased to be winning but it’s just not good enough from United, should be a lot more than two. Only 22 league goals so far this season, poor.

Centre-half Harry Maguire and midfielder Fred replace Raphael Varane and Christian Eriksen for the home side.

Bruno Fernandes, 40 yards from goal, tries to embarrass Wayne Hennessey, who had crept off his line.

It's a great effort from the Portuguese, but the ball hits the top of the net instead of falling inside it. It would've been wonderful. Almost.

GreenIsle: Man Utd need to up the tempo here. Goal difference is still rubbish compared to the rest of the top six/seven, this is a great opportunity to improve it.

Casemiro tries to chip Wayne Hennessey and it's great creativity from Casemiro, but the goalkeeper pushes it behind for a corner.

And then another corner after Donny Van de Beek is denied. United piling on the pressure looking for a third.
