Erik ten Hag hailed ‘unstoppable’ Marcus Rashford after the England forward’s stunning solo goal put Manchester United within touching distance of Wembley.
United are all but through to the final of the Carabao Cup as Rashford and Wout Weghorst scored in the first half, before Bruno Fernandes struck the third late on to make next week’s return leg a virtual formality.
Rashford burst Nottingham Forest’s bubble in the sixth minute, charging from inside his own half, beating Remo Freuler and Joe Worrall and shooting past Wayne Hennessey – marking his 10th goal in his last 10 matches.
