Nottingham Forest F.C. vs Manchester United - EFL Cup Semi 1st Leg - Match Thread - 25/01/2023 8pm

Kick Off : 20:00 GMT

Manchester United Team news : Casemiro back from suspension. Dalot , Sancho & Martial out. Everybody else is available

Nottingham Forest Team news: Henderson is out. Chris Wood is cup tied

Manchester United will be looking to secure their first trophy in eight years starting with the EFL Cup as they prepare for their semi-final clash with fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest. United have not lost to Forest since 1994 in all competitions and have never been defeated by them in the League Cup either - winning all three meetings.

Big game and it won’t be easy. Forest are decent at home and will be ridiculously up for. No £#%&!ing about with the team. I don’t want to see Butland, Maguire, Mctominay or Elanga anywhere near the starting line up.

If we put out the $#*! @#%&!s and it costs us a place in the final, we’ve only ourselves to blame.

Full strength. Get it won. Rest a few at the weekend

I can't believe 2017 is eight years ago already.

Makes you think etc.

I think varane, shaw, Bruno and rashford can be rested, as it’s two legged.

De gea
AWB, slab, Martinez, malacia
Fred. Casemiro
Antony. Eriksen. Garnacho
Weggy

let's take a huge shot of nostalgia to get hyped -

Too much of a risk imo. I don’t want us even narrowly losing and having to do any chasing at home.

Any changes should be minimal and not marginalising us with $#*[email protected]#%&!s. No slab. No Lindelof. No Elanga. No Mctominay. I will accept Malacia, Garnacho and Fred coming in and I won’t hear any more about it.

Would be strong tonite they can mix and match Saturday v reading. Forest will be full pelt tonite bar the keeper and the ground will be bouncing

Best available XI. Get it won. 3-0 United

Thinking about it , it does make sense. The panic Slab and lindelof bring, Especially in an away game where they have nothing else to fight for this season.

I think Malacia , Garnacho and Fred should be the only ones to come in. They can get a rest on the weekend vs reading at home.

i think very strong team here is the idea we can rest people on saturday , forest done very well at home last year i the Cup , recently they have picked up as well so its going to be a tough game , martial still out again you have to ask yourself what is the point of this guy he is injured so .much , a draw would not be a disaster

we can't rest people at the w/e. the fa cup is more important than this nonsense. strong team in both.

Strong team please - cant be letting the momentum slow down after the two last minute goals conceded recently.

Lose this or struggle and suddenly the narrative changes around us
