Manchester United's Man of the Match poll was much closer than the contest on the pitch, following the Reds' comfortable 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.

The fact that it was another impressive team performance for Erik ten Hag's men was reflected in the voting after the game, with just two per cent of the votes separating the eventual winner and runner-up.

As you can see below, the Reds' on-fire first goalscorer Marcus Rashford pipped rock-solid centre-back Lisandro Martinez to the accolade, 28 to 26 per cent.

The man who wrapped up the scoring and captained the victors at The City Ground, Bruno Fernandes, was also backed by thousands of fans as he finished third with 17 per cent.
