Manchester United booked their place in the Carling Cup final today despite being given a late scare by Derby County.
Manchester United eventually won 4-3 on aggregate after taking today’s second leg 4-2.
Derby County led 1-0 from the first leg but a fierce Nani strike levelled the tie and defensive errors let John O\'Shea and Carlos Tevez put United in charge.
Derby improved after the break and Giles Barnes replied from the spot when Paul Green was fouled in the area.
Cristiano Ronaldo\'s penalty seemed to seal United\'s win but a superb Barnes free-kick ensured a tense finale.
