Manchester United star Lisandro Martinez has urged his teammates to always play like they did in the 3-0 first-leg Carabao Cup semi-final victory over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.

Martinez told Sky Sports: “I’m really happy with the job from the guys. We played so good today and we controlled the game. We lost the last game so we had to produce now and as a team we did.

“We know [Forest] is doing a really good job but we never gave up. Today we won the game and that’s the most important thing.

“You can see when we do the right things we don’t concede goals. We controlled the game but we still have many things to improve on and we have to keep going.

“I’m really happy because we showed discipline and I saw [for] the whole game we were pretty focused. We have to play always like this, keep going and keep fighting.

“We know it’s a good result for us but we have to take it step-by-step.”
