Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United team news

Ryan Yates is a doubt due to illness but otherwise there are no new injuries for Forest. Loanee Chris Wood could continue up front for Forest after joining in response to Taiwo Awoniyi’s injury.

Danilo is another recent addition hoping to be included following a debut off the bench on the weekend. Dean Henderson is both injured and ineligible, so Wayne Hennessey will continue in goal.

The visitors will again be without Anthony Martial, Diogo Dalot and Jadon Sancho as confirmed by Erik ten Hag. Tom Heaton and new signing Jack Butland are competing to start in goal.

It being the first leg of a semi-final tie, Erik ten Hag may go a bit more cautious with the confidence of taking the tie back to Old Trafford on level terms. The City Ground will be rocking, though.
