Nottingham Forest travel to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon looking to extend their impressive eight-game unbeaten run.
Vítor Pereira’s side have already guaranteed their Premier League survival following an exceptional sequence of domestic results. Shaking off their painful Europa League exit, the Tricky Trees can now play with absolute freedom in Manchester. A positive result would also break a lengthy winless streak against their hosts.
The visitors have been exceptional on their travels, winning their last three away league games. They also look to preserve an unbeaten record when scoring the opening goal this season. Pereira will demand maximum concentration to secure an impressive result against their high-flying hosts.
Nottingham Forest team news
Vítor Pereira expects to welcome back influential playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White after a recent facial injury. The England international trained wearing a special mask and remains central to Forest’s attacking plans. Gibbs-White has been involved in five goals in his last five appearances against United. Dan Ndoye and Ibrahim Sangaré have also returned to full fitness following recent minor setbacks.
However, the visitors remain plagued by defensive injuries ahead of the journey to Manchester. Murillo and Ola Aina are sidelined, while Callum Hudson-Odoi is out for the season. John Victor, Willy Boly, and Nicolò Savona also remain locked in the treatment room. In their absence, peripheral players like Luca Netz and Taiwo Awoniyi should start again. Elliot Anderson will look to replicate his goal-scoring heroics from last Sunday’s draw.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup
Nottingham Forest predicted XI: Sels; Cunha, Milenkovic, Morato, Williams; Anderson, Yates; Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Awoniyi.
