Newcastle United Carabao Cup final opponents confirmed as Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest

Newcastle United and Manchester United will go head to head in the final of the Carabao Cup later this month after the Red Devils booked their place at Wembley.

Eddie Howe's Magpies were already assured of a place in the final following their 3-1 two-legged victory over Southampton. And Erik ten Hag's side joined them following their 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.

Leading 3-0 after the first leg, the home side had to wait until 71 minutes to break the deadlock, with Anthony Martial opened the scoring, before Fred added a second.
