Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h, odds today

Manchester United and Nottingham Forest will both be targeting a return to winning ways when they collide in the Premier League today.

New boss Ruben Amorim was dealt a first defeat in charge of the Red Devils on Wednesday night, with his side losing 2-0 at Arsenal.

That result leaves United down in 13th place, albeit the congested nature of the top-flight table this season means they are still only four points off the top five.

Amorim has vowed to rotate as the fixtures continue to pile up thick and fast. Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo and Leny Yoro all started on the bench against Arsenal and could be pushing for starts here.

Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo are both back from suspension for United. Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof are all sidelined through injury.

Forest, meanwhile, are still missing long-term absentees Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo.

Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest prediction

United did look solid enough at times against Arsenal before being outdone by set-pieces. While it remains difficult to fully judge them during an early point of Amorim’s tenure, a home win does not feel out of the question here.

Manchester United to win, 2-1.
