Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United LIVE! FA Cup result, match stream and latest updates today

Brazilian Casemiro scored in the 89th minute to send Manchester United into a record 48th FA Cup quarter-final with a 1-0 victory over Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old midfielder headed in a low bouncing free kick from Bruno Fernandes from close range to keep alive United's last hope of lifting a trophy in a difficult season for the 12-times FA Cup winners.

Manager Erik ten Hag and his team held their breath through a lengthy VAR check for potential offside before the goal was confirmed to the delight of the United fans at the City Ground.

United will face Premier League leaders Liverpool or Championship Southampton in the last eight next month.

Ten Hag praises 'consistent' Man Utd side after late FA Cup win

22:25 , Jonathan Gorrie

Erik ten Hag praised his “consistent” Manchester United after they beat Nottingham Forest to edge into the FA Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday night.

Casemiro’s late header saw United progress into the final eight and teed up a mouth-watering clash at home to rivals Liverpool next month.

Ten Hag’s side wasted a number of good opportunities in the first half but it proved to be a tight game at the City Ground, decided only by the Brazilian’s header in the dying embers.

Still, the Dutchman was pleased to see his team recover from their stoppage-time loss at home to Fulham and was keen to point out United have lost only once since the turn of the year.

In 26 appearances in all competitions for United this season, Antony has scored just one goal, against League Two side Newport in the FA Cup. He has not registered a single assist.

United will have to continue to make do without the injured Rasmus Hojlund in attack, which could welcome back Antony after the defeat to Fulham.

Casemiro is available for the visitors, after he was assessed and found to have not suffered concussion against Forest, but options to refresh the defence are light, amid the absence of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia.
