David De Gea misses out with veteran shot-stopper Heaton taking his place.

But after signing Jack Butland on loan from Crystal Palace last month United fans are wondering why he was not picked.

One said: “What’s the point of loaning in Butland if you’re going to play Heaton.”

Another added: “What even was the point of Butland?”

And a third said: “Forgot we signed Butland as our bus driver ”

Another commented: “What was the point of signing Jack Butland when we’re starting Heaton ”

Ten Hag has decided to rest Marcus Rashford with his side 3-0 up on aggregate after the first leg.

Jadon Sancho has also been selected in the matchday squad for the first time since October.

The winger was given an individual training programme during the World Cup and was not deemed to be physically or mentally fit enough to play over the last few weeks.

Sancho returned to first-team training last month and he could get a chance to prove himself against Forest.

Ten Hag revealed the 22-year-old was making progress and was in contention to play last weekend.

The Red Devils boss said: “He is training with the team & we will see.

“He’s improving, he’s making steps & we will make the decision after the training.”
