EFL Cup: Anthony Martial shares message after netting in Man Utd’s win over Nottingham Forest | OneFootball

Anthony Martial has taken to Instagram to share a message with Manchester United’s supporters following his side’s EFL Cup clash with Nottingham Forest.

The Red Devils eased their way into the final of this competition by securing a 2-0 win (5-0 on aggregate) over Forest at Old Trafford.

Martial marked his 14th appearance of the season by scoring in the second-half of this particular fixture.

Casemiro went close in the 30th minute of this fixture as his header was saved by Wayne Hennessey.

Wout Weghorst then struck the post with an effort just before the break.

Hennessey produced another smart stop to prevent Alejandro Garnacho from scoring before Martial was introduced as a substitute by Erik ten Hag.

Martial made an immediate impact for United as he slotted an effort past Hennessey to open the scoring for United.

The Red Devils doubled their lead shortly after Martial’s strike as Fred converted from close range after being teed up by Marcus Rashford.

Having secured their place in the final, ten Hag’s side will now be aiming to defeat Newcastle United at Wembley Stadium.

This particular clash is set to take place on February 26th.

The Verdict

Martial will be hoping that his goal against Forest will be able to ignite his season as his game time has been limited due to a number of different injuries.

Having featured last night, the forward is likely to be utilised by ten Hag this weekend when United face Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

If he is handed the chance to impress at Old Trafford, it will be intriguing to see whether Martial will be able to add to the six goals that he has scored this season in all competitions.

By producing some eye-catching performances in the club’s upcoming fixtures, the 27-year-old could force his way into contention for a place in the Red Devils’ starting eleven for their meeting with Newcastle at Wembley later this month.
