Subject:  Match Report Man United 2-1 Nottingham Forest

Manchester United will play Tottenham Hotspur in the Quarter Final at White Hart Lane on
 December 2nd. 

By David Anderson, PA Sport

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer proved there is nothing second-string about him by cutting down Nottingham
 Forest in the Worthington
 Cup to take a Manchester United reserves line-up through to the last eight. The Norwegian
 international, out of favour because
 of the form of Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole, scored twice in three minutes to book United's  
 place in the quarter-finals.

Once again Ferguson fielded a team mostly of reserves for the fourth-round tie, but Solskjaer
 demonstrated that he is sharp
 enough to cut it for the first team. The 25-year-old, who scored in the last round against
 Bury, was rampant in the second half
 and was denied a hat-trick in the final minutes when Dave Beasant touched a drive on to the
 bar.

Forest, without the luxury of a squad like United's, fielded a virtual full-strength side,
 although bad boy Pierre van Hooijdonk
 was named among the substitutes because he reportedly had a head cold. The much-maligned Old
 Trafford pitch, which had
 been patched together following Sunday's goalless draw against Newcastle, again started to cut
 up. That made little difference
 to Forest's 19-year-old striker Marlon Harewood, who quickly tore into United.

He showed Henning Berg a clean pair of heels in the 10th minute, and it needed a fine stop from
 Raimond van der Gouw,
 diving to his right, to thwart him. Forest, next to bottom of the Premiership and with just
 one win in normal time from their last
 10 games, continued to press - and van der Gouw made another good save at his near post from
 Chris Bart-Williams' drive.

United were hardly pulling up many trees in the first half, and their first shot on target did
 not come until the 28th minute. At the
 other end Stone headed just wide from Andy Gray's cross as Forest continued to do most of the
 attacking.

Van der Gouw denied Forest again in the 33rd minute when Scot Gemmill's shot hit his knee,
 although the Dutchman seemed
 to know little about it. United no doubt were given a rollicking by Ferguson at the interval
 and in the second half they were a totally different proposition.

Cruyff twice shot wide of the target in between a deflected Jonathan Greening effort which
 Beasant magnificently touched
 around the post. Greening then broke down the left only for the former York striker to shoot
 straight at Beasant.

United finally made the breakthrough in the 57th minute when Cruyff played Solskjaer through
 with a neat pass, and the
 Norwegian shot past Beasant. Three minutes later it was 2-0 when Cruyff again released
 Solskjaer on the left and slotted
 home his sixth goal of the season.

The gate of 37,237 was the lowest at Old Trafford for many a month, but the home fans did not
 mind as United finally began
 to play. Forest responded by bringing on van Hooijdonk to boos from the United supporters.

Alan Rogers almost hauled Forest back into the game with a terrific 25-yard shot which van der
 Gouw tipped over the bar.
 Stone threw the visitors a lifeline in the 68th minute with a goal-of-the-season contender
 which flew into the top-left corner of Van der Gouw's goal from 30 yards out.

Forest had what looked like a strong penalty appeal turned down when Rogers went down under a
 challenge from Greening.
 Solskjaer almost completed his hat-trick when Beasant lost the ball in the centre circle after
 he had raced out of his area, but
 his long-range effort went just wide of the unguarded goal.

He was denied again in the dying minutes when Beasant touched his drive on to the bar.

Subject:   Ronny Out 2 Months (Mirror)

JINXED JOHNSEN
By STEVE MILLAR

RONNY Johnsen last night cursed his injury hoodoo as Manchester United boss
Alex Ferguson ruled him out of action for two months.

The jinxed Norwegian star, missing for seven weeks with ankle ligament
trouble before Sunday's comeback, lasted just 25 minutes against Newcastle
at Old Trafford before suffering a recurrence of the injury.

He has pulled out of Norway's squad to travel to Egypt for a friendly next
week. Johnsen, desperate to rescue a season that has reduced him to just
five League appearances, still hopes to start running again by Friday.

But Ferguson, who also has injury headaches over Ryan Giggs, Andy Cole,
Teddy Sheringham, Phil Neville and Jesper Blomqvist, says: "Ronny is out for
two months and that's a real blow. It's a very frustrating setback for the
club and the player."

Johnsen and United's other casualties will be joined on the Worthington Cup
sidelines against Nottingham Forest tonight by a host of fellow stars -
Peter Schmeichel, Gary Neville, Jaap Stam, David Beckham, Roy Keane, Dwight
Yorke and Paul Scholes.
