Manchester United Team News

Ruben Amorim seems to have finally settled on a formation and a lineup for his Manchester United team. The 3-4-2-1 shape with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo operating closely behind Benjamin Sesko has allowed him to counter-press effectively. The three centre-backs have also formed a good understanding with each other. Amad and Diogo Dalot are in line to start as the wingbacks.

Sportsdunia's Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United Prediction

The Man United manager Ruben Amorim will certainly back himself and his team to get the three points. Forest is still getting in sync with Sean Dyche's game plan and strategies. United will look to start the game strong and establish an early advantage. The hosts' form in front of the goal will provide little hope to the fans of obtaining anything from the fixture. Three points will take Manchester United closer to the top four.

Predicted Score: Nottingham Forest 1-3 Manchester United
