Marcus Rashford was delighted to have “brothers” Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial back in the Manchester United squad on Wednesday night.
Sancho and Martial both returned from injury by coming off the substitutes’ bench as United booked their place in the Carabao Cup final with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Erik ten Hag’s side came into the second leg with a 3-0 lead but struggled to fashion chances before a triple substitution changed the game.
Ten Hag brought on Rashford, Martial and Sancho in the 63rd minute and was soon rewarded, with Martial rifling a loose ball into the bottom corner to break the deadlock. Rashford then used Bruno Fernandes ’ cross to set up a tap-in for Fred to make it 2-0 and seal a trip to Wembley, where United will face Newcastle on February 26.
