‘Big threat’ – Paul Merson makes confident prediction for Man Utd vs Nottingham forest winner as big injury announced
Manchester United knows they need to get better quickly after a bad start to the season, and a home match against Nottingham Forest should provide them a great chance to do so
Despite being outplayed by Wolves on opening weekend, United nevertheless won, but Tottenham’s recent 2-0 victory raised many questions for Erik ten Hag.
Forest will be confident that they can surprise United at Old Trafford after pushing Arsenal to the verge of defeat in their first meeting and overcoming Sheffield United the following time.
Date, time, and place of occurrence
On Saturday, August 26, 2023, the game between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. BST.
Old Trafford in Salford will serve as the venue for the game.
Where to watch Nottingham Forest vs. Manchester United on TV and online: The game will not be shown live in the United Kingdom due to the typical Saturday 3 p.m. blackout.
Nottingham Forest vs. Manchester United team information
Due to an injury, Mason Mount, a summer acquisition of Manchester United, will not play against Tottenham Hotspur. The right person should be appointed as Christian Eriksen’s direct successor. Harry Maguire is healthy after suffering a minor injury. Due to a muscle disorder, Luke Shaw is also sidelined.
Rasmus Hojlund might finally make his debut, but most likely only as a fill-in.
Following Ola Aina’s loss in training last week, Nottingham Forest is not currently concerned about any fresh injuries. Till the end of the month, he won’t be coming back. A fresh loan signing named Gonzalo Montiel might make his debut.
Foreseeing the Manchester United vs. Nottingham Forest matchup
Manchester United has more than enough ability to put on a display for their supporters against Nottingham Forest.
It will be interesting to watch if they actually do. I thought United would win because Erik ten Hag has the ability to shake things up, possibly resulting in Jadon Sancho returning in a ‘false nine’ role.
Man Utd will triumph 3-1.
9/1 for Nottingham Forest to win.
