Erik ten Hag said Marcus Rashford was ‘unstoppable’ after Manchester United’s 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final
Erik ten Hag praised “unstoppable” Marcus Rashford after the
striker’s 10th goal in 10 games left Nottingham Forest’s Steve Cooper admitting their Carabao Cup semi-final is all but over., the United manager was pleased at the manner in which his team responded to Sunday’s Premier League defeat at Arsenal that left them 11 points behind the Premier League leaders.
“It is up to the team to get him in the right positions. In possession we have a plan, [but it is up to some players like] like Rashy, Bruno [Fernandes] and Christian Eriksen to be creative in the final third and do something no one expects, some crazy stuff.” Forest could be forgiven for focusing on their next Premier League game away to Leeds a week on Sunday and Cooper accepts the second leg at Old Trafford next Wednesday will be about more than trying to achieve a miraculous comeback.
“It’s going to be incredibly difficult,” he said. “It was going to be that anyway but it’s going to be three times that now. We’ve got to set some objectives so that we come out of the next game better than we go into it.”
