Manchester United took a major step towards the Carabao Cup final with a comfortable victory at Nottingham Forest in their semi-final first leg.

Marcus Rashford gave them the lead as he ran from his own half and beat several defenders before blasting in.

Sam Surridge thought he had levelled but his goal was ruled out by the video assistant referee for offside.

Wout Weghorst then scored his first goal for United and Bruno Fernandes drilled in a late third.
