GRATEFUL TO A HEAD CASE

Brazilian's winner boosts Ten Hag

- JEREMY CROSS

CASEMIRO scored a last-gasp winner to spare Manchester United's hopes of winning silverware from being sunk by the River Trent.

United faced the lottery of extra time and penalties at the City Ground until the Brazilian's 89th-minute header helped Erik ten Hag's men limp past Nottingham Forest and into the FA Cup quarter-finals.

It was his first goal since September - and no one will be more relieved to see it than boss Ten Hag.

United have now reached a quarterfinal for a record 48th time.

But more importantly for Ten Hag, it means he can still salvage a trophy from what has been an otherwise woeful season for him and his team.
