Manchester United are looking to start November in positive fashion when facing Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The City Ground encounter offers an opportunity to make it four wins on the spin and maintain our momentum, which has been gathering pace under head coach Ruben Amorim.
Forest have a new man in charge, their third boss of the season, with Sean Dyche replacing Ange Postecoglou, after the Australian’s short-lived spell as Nuno Espirito Santo’s successor.
Forest
have won their last three league games against the Reds, although we knocked them out of the Emirates FA Cup in 2024, en route to lifting the trophy at Wembley.
TEAM NEWS
Harry Maguire missed out on the 4-2 win over Brighton & Hove Albion while Mason Mount, also flagged as a doubt, remained as an unused substitute.
Leny Yoro and Benjamin Sesko were drafted into the team in their place, and long-term absentee Lisandro Martinez continues to work on his individual recovery.
The hosts are still without Ola Aina and Dilane Bakwa, while Arsenal loanee Oleksandr Zinchenko and Chris Wood are fighting to return from injury.
Dyche made a triple change at half-time during the 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth, with Douglas Luiz, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Igor Jesus the men withdrawn at the interval.
FORM GUIDE
United won each of our three October fixtures to make it four victories out of our last five outings.
As a result, Ruben’s side is currently sitting in sixth place in the table, level on points with Manchester City. Only leaders Arsenal have collected more points than the Reds since matchday three onwards.
Forest are in 18th, after only one win in the league all season, the opening-day triumph against Brentford. New boss Dyche did oversee a 2-0 success at home to Porto in the Europa League but lost his first domestic game, at Bournemouth, last weekend.
That made it four losses in a row in the Premier League, as it has been an unsettled start to the campaign for a side that impressed throughout 2024/25.
