Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag had no time to discuss the recent row between Antony and Bruno Fernandes.

The Dutch coach was delighted at his side emerging with a 3-0 first leg lead in the Carabao Cup semi final against Nottingham Forest.

Despite a few tricky periods in the away game, United are now in the box seat as they prepare for the home leg next week.

Post-game, ten Hag was asked about Fernandes and Antony exchanging angry words during a recent 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

He said: "I think that can happen. They are both players who play with the heart and, when they bring that in the game, they are on their best so it's always a kind of balance.

"And always between players, sometimes emotions flare up but I think, in the second moment, they are already good with each other so that is not a problem. I think definitely the players are not frustrated with him."
