Man United vs Nottingham Forest officially confirmed

The 3-2 victory over Liverpool last weekend secured a spot in next season’s Champions League.

Four points would mathematically secure a top-three finish from their last three games. The first of the remaining matches will be against Sunderland on Saturday afternoon, in a rare 15:00 BST kick-off for the Reds.

It has also been decided that United will play their final match of the season against Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday 24th May at 16:00 BST, as all teams will play at the same time, as is tradition on the final day of the Premier League season.

Nottingham Forest match confirmed

There was some doubt about when United would take on Nottingham Forest in the club’s final home match of the season.

This uncertainty was due to Forest’s potential involvement in the Europa League final, but their 4-0 loss to Aston Villa ended those hopes.

If the Tricky Trees had made the final, United’s match would have taken place on Friday, but this is no longer an option.

The club’s site confirmed, “Manchester United’s Premier League game against Nottingham Forest will go ahead on Sunday 17 May, as provisionally scheduled.”

The club also confirmed that, “the final home fixture of the season for Michael Carrick’s men gets under way at 12:30 BST on that date.”

The game will also be shown live on Sky Sports for viewers in the UK.

The match-up promises to be emotional, as it will be Casemiro’s final game at Old Trafford as a United player, and Red Devils fans are bound to want to give the Brazilian an impressive send-off.
