Manchester United secured an FA Cup quarterfinal against old rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford next month thanks to Casemiro’s 89th-minute winner over Nottingham Forest. Sir Alex Ferguson sat next to new United director Sir Dave Brailsford on the pitch where he famously won an FA Cup third-round tie to save his own job in 1990, as under-pressure current manager Erik ten Hag kept his only remaining chance of ending his second season with a trophy alive.
The visitors edged a game that appeared to be headed for extra time, but they squandered a number of excellent chances to break the deadlock.
