Manchester United will welcome Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford this Saturday afternoon as they focus on earning a win in front of their home fans. The Red Devils suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month. Hence, the Man United players would be desperate to put in a positive performance collectively this weekend.
Erik ten Hag could opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation once again and will be forced to make a couple of tweaks for this clash. Both Jadon Sancho and Christian Eriksen are expected to play from the start of this game.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Nottingham Forest
Defence
Andre Onana will play in goal for the Red Devils after shipping in two goals in his last league appearance. Raphael Varane will operate alongside Lisandro Martinez for Man United on the defensive third of the pitch.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka will continue to play as the right-back while Luke Shaw looks to put in an energetic display as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves in the Nottingham half.
Diogo Dalot and Victor Lindelof will be named on the bench as they offer cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Christian Eriksen and Casemiro will operate as the holding midfielders. Their main focus would be to dominate possession of the ball and orchestrate enough clear-cut chances for Man United to win this game.
The talented trio of Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes and Antony will play just ahead of them as part of Man United’s attack. Ten Hag will instruct Sancho and Antony to get in behind the Nottingham defence at every chance they get.
Facundo Pellistri will be available for selection on the bench and might come on in the latter stages of the contest if required.
Attack
Marcus Rashford will lead the line for the Red Devils on his own up top. The English forward failed to register a goal in his last league outing, so he will be hungry to find the back of the net in this Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
Anthony Martial will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the final quarter of the match if Man United are in need of a goal.
