    It's going to be a cracking final.

    Totally professional and exciting performance from Manchester United tonight. Nottingham Forest managed to put up a good fight for spells in the game.

    The class and the quality was too much in the end. Great speed in the attack and great all round play from Man United.

    Sets us up for a cracking final, two teams that are playing really well at the minute, it should be an absolute belter.

    Marcus Rashford lays it off to Fred, who hooks it into the box first time. It's headed away but only to Bruno Fernandes. He fizzes it dangerously across the face of the goal.

    It's a difficult one and it's a great break from Forest. Heaton palms Danilo's shot it into the path of Surridge.

    It looks like he can just put that into the net but it's easier said than done.

  12. CLOSE!published at 21:41 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2023

    Man Utd 2-0 Nottingham Forest

    Ooh decent strike from Danilo and Tom Heaton has to make a smart diving save.

    Sam Surridge follows up on the rebound but he skies it way over the bar.

    Seth: This front three of Rashford, Martial and Sancho is the dream! The problem is the fitness of Martial. Not forgetting Anthony and Garnacho. Add a proper striker and another central midfielder next summer and Man Utd are back as title contenders!

    Manny: Fred's improvement his season has been as big as anyone's in the team. Down to Ten Hag or has he just realised he's Brazilian?

    Romain: This is the new look Man Utd team ready to compete at all levels and win trophies!!! Come on!!!!!

    This could be a long 15 minutes or so for Forest as the clock ticks away. They are out of the tie and United look hungry for more goals in attack.

  17. 'Unbelievable cross from Fernandes'published at 21:36 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2023

    It's an unbelievable cross from Fernandes with the outside of his right foot.

    He was aiming for Martial but Rashford is in at that back post just to square it across for Fred.

    Six players in the box as that ball was put over the line. Man United are so dominant in attack.

  18. goal

    GOAL - Man Utd 2-0 Nottingham Forestpublished at 21:34 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2023

    Fred (75 mins)

    All over.

    Bruno Fernandes curls it into the box with the outside of his foot. Marcus Rashford pokes it back and Fred taps it in at the back post.

    Lovely goal. United are 5-0 up on aggregate and are heading to Wembley.

    There's a slice of fortune in the ball rebounding back to Antony Martial. It all starts with the first time pass from Casemiro in midfield, perfectly weighted. That left footed finish and there is no chance for Hennessey.

    It's a goal Man United deserve from all their attacking play.

  20. Postpublished at 21:34 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2023

    Jadon Sancho runs at the backline now and tries to pick out Anthony Martial in the middle. It deflects into the hands of Wayne Hennessey.

    United look very threatening now after that triple attacking substitution.
