Man Utd 'name on the trophy' claim made after Nottingham Forest draw

Manchester United fans are in a confident mood ahead of Erik ten Hag's Red Devils facing Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

Forest booked their place in the last four with a dramatic penalty shootout win against Wolves in the quarter-finals at the City Ground on Wednesday night. United loanee Dean Henderson was the hero for Steve Cooper's side, but he won't be able to play against his parent club in the semi-finals.

Forest will host United at the City Ground in the first leg of their tie before heading to Old Trafford for the second leg. They have already lost once to United in the Premier League this season, suffering a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford in December.

And many United fans are expecting victory in the cup, judging from comments on Twitter:

Utd since O'Farrell: It's 'Name on the trophy', as long as Elanga and Martial are nowhere near the team for the semis v Forest.

Paul 'Roman-Anthony': Forrest aint got a hope in hell in beating us over 2 legs and Newcastle should make the final and it will be tough but mufc fans should all be very confident of finally getting a trophy since 2017.

Magnus: finally we are getting a trophy not the best one but it is something.

Mark R: With City out, ManUtd have no excuses. The trophy drought has to end on Feb 26 and serve as a catapult into the last 3 months of the season. Southampton and Forest aren't on the same level and regardless of how good Newcastle have been, you have to beat them.

Yogeshan Pillay: No way have we actually got Forest in the semis AND Henderson won't be able to play Things are looking up for ten Hag right now.
