Manchester United face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this weekend, as they look to bounce back from last weekend’s 2-0 loss against Spurs.

United will hoping for a positive reaction after they were outclassed by Ange Postecoglu’s side in the second half of the game.

The Red Devils take on Forest, who themselves have also lost and won a fixture each so far. It should be a routine win for United who will be playing at home and have the added advantage of having a good record against Steve Cooper’s side in recent times. United may find themselves up against Anthony Elanga, who recently moved from Old Trafford to The City Ground. He will be looking to make his first start in a Forest shirt at the weekend.

Manchester United injury news:

United will still be without Rasmus Højlund (back), Kobbie Mainoo (ankle), Tyrell Malacia (muscle), Tom Heaton (calf) and Amad Diallo (knee). Mason Mount (unknown) will also be out after the Red Devils announced that he will not be back until after September’s international break. Luke Shaw (muscle) is confirmed to be out of action for the foreseeable.

Where to watch:

Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest will not be broadcasted live in the UK and will be available on Peacock for US viewers.

Predicted Manchester United lineup:

Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lisandro, Dalot; Casemiro, Bruno, Eriksen; Antony, Rashford, Garnacho.
