Erik ten Hag spotted in 'furious' incident during Man Utd's win over Nottingham Forest

Erik ten Hag was spotted in a furious incident during Manchester United’s win over Nottingham Forest.

On Wednesday, United booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool at Old Trafford after edging past Nottingham Forest.

Casemiro flicked home Bruno Fernandes’ free-kick in the 89th minute, with the goal given despite a lengthy VAR check.

The Brazilian’s fifth goal of the season was enough to see United through while providing a much-needed confidence boost ahead of their Premier League encounter against Manchester City on Sunday.

Nevertheless, United endured an edgy and frustrating evening at The City Ground, with even Ten Hag losing his rag on the touchline on occasion.

According to the BBC’s Simon Stone, at one point Ten Hag was "furious" at Forest being awarded a throw he felt should have been given to United.

The Dutchman was so frustrated referee Chris Kavanagh went across to tell him to calm down.

After the game, however, Ten Hag remarked on his side’s spate of positive results in 2024.

Ten Hag told BBC Match of the Day: "It's the best time to score at the end. On Saturday, we felt a defeat in stoppage time [against Fulham].

"We scored in the right moment. In the second half after five or six minutes, we found the game. Then we were continually in their half and took control of the game. Before that, we had to make some changes. The routines fell away.

"We had chances but we allowed them to create some chances. We should avoid that. Every win is important. We take it 24 hours and then we move on.

"We have fantastic games coming up. This team, what they showed today, that's great. They have to show it every game. I've seen it the last couple of months, not on Saturday.

"We found the way to win. We were consistent. We lost one time in 2024. We are consistent. It's not so easy when you have the whole backline and we have to shuffle and play players in different positions. I'm very proud we did it."
