The Red Devils will look to build on their winning run

After a dismal start to the campaign saw United win just two of their first seven matches, things finally seem to be clicking under Ruben Amorim.

Meanwhile, this fixture will be Sean Dyche’s third as Nottingham Forest boss, and the new manager bounce was short-lived.

A win over Porto on his debut was promptly followed by a 2-0 loss away to Bournemouth, and he will hope to get back to winning ways here under the watchful and impatient eye of Evangelos Marinakis.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game…

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United team news

Forest will definitely be without five first-team stars including Ola Aina, Chris Wood and on-loan Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko for United’s visit to the Midlands.

Dyche has also confirmed Angus Gunn and Dilane Bakwa are absent through injury.

Harry Maguire missed Man United’s win over Brighton with a knock, and he does not seem to be ready to face Forest, either. Asked for an update on his condition pre-match, Amorim said: “I don’t know about Harry Maguire. The rest are fit.”

With that said, today’s outing will come too soon for Lisandro Martinez, who is back in full team training after tearing his ACL in February but still unready to return to competitive play.

Matheus Cunha has a remarkable record against Forest, scoring three times in four appearances, and will be hopeful of starting in the attack.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United prediction

There is an undeniable good feeling around United at the moment - one which will have permeated the entire club.

Last week’s win over Brighton was arguably their biggest result of the season so far, with three of the four goals coming from summer signings.

As things start to click for the Red Devils and Dyche remains in the early days of his tenure, there is little evidence to suggest United cannot get the job done.

Manchester United to win, 3-1.
