Aiming to conclude their Old Trafford campaign in style, Manchester United host in-form Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils’ remarkable scoring sequence halted at the base of Sunderland last time out, whilst the Tricky Trees left it late to snatch a share of the spoils with Newcastle United.
Currently in the midst of a four-game unbeaten run (W3 D1), Michael Carrick’s side are sitting in third place in the Premier League standings, already guaranteed a spot in the Champions
League next term.
As a result, complacency could creep into the performance of the hosts versus Forest this weekend at Old Trafford, where Man Utd have lost just one of their final home league games in the past 18 seasons.
Losing just twice in his 15 matches at the helm, interim boss Carrick is leaving a strong impression as he seeks to land the Old Trafford gig on a full-time basis.
There were multiple reports towards the end of the week that Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS leadership group were ready to offer Carrick the job on a permanent basis, and the most recent reports indicated that negotiations were underway on a two-year deal with a +1 option. With Carrick due to speak to the Old Trafford faithful after full-time, there may be a positive update on the situation.
