How Man Utd May Line Up Against Nottingham In The Carabao Cup

Three key players for Manchester United will miss their crucial match against Nottingham Forest.

The Red Devils are still in shock after their devastating 3-2 Premier League loss against Arsenal on Sunday.

Erik ten Hag, the manager, now has his attention on the Carabao Cup as he seeks to advance in his quest to win his first trophy at Old Trafford.

On Wednesday, United will play Forest in the first leg of the semifinals at the City Ground.

But the Dutchman has already admitted that he won’t have a crucial trio for the match.

After spending time in Holland last month to improve his fitness, winger Jadon Sancho is currently back in the gym with Ten Hag’s team.

However, the 22-year-old is still not considered selection-ready.

Full-back Diogo Dalot suffered an injury against Charlton in the previous round after only 34 minutes.

Since he hasn’t played since, Aaron Wan-Bissaka will probably once again serve as his backup.

Anthony Martial will once again be unsuccessful in attack.

In the win against Manchester United, the French striker took a hit and came off the break.

He will not be eligible for Wednesday after missing the defeat to Arsenal and the draw against Crystal Palace.

When asked about the players who weren’t available for the Arsenal game – Dalot, Martial, and Sancho – Ten Hag said, “The guys who were not available for the Arsenal game are not available for tomorrow.”

Therefore, it seems that the team will once again be led by newcomer Wout Weghorst, who will be eager to start scoring for United.

The key Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is again available after serving a one-match suspension, which is fantastic news for Ten Hag.

It has been a daring move for the United manager to rotate his team this competition, giving opportunity to various young players and periphery players, but doing so now would be risky.
