Manchester United host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League as both teams look to bounce back after midweek defeats.
United were beaten for the first time under new boss Ruben Amorim when they fell to a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday, while Forest, who make their second trip to Manchester in four days, were comfortably beaten 3-0 by a rejuvenated Manchester City at the Etihad.
The Red Devils will be hoping to kick-start their season and climb the Premier League table. United currently sit in 13th spot.
Forest, meanwhile, occupy eighth position after a strong start to the campaign. However, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have lost three of their last four league games and will be looking to return to their early-season form.
Here are how the two teams line-up for the clash at Old Trafford.
