Manchester United will aim to bounce back from their midweek 2-0 defeat against Arsenal when they host Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Saturday evening in the Premier League. Manager Ruben Amorim will look to restore momentum as United attempt to climb up the league table, where they currently sit 13th.
Team News
United face defensive challenges with Luke Shaw sidelined again due to a muscle injury setback and Victor Lindelof ruled out with a groin issue. Jonny Evans is a doubt after missing the Arsenal game due to an unspecified knock. However, Amorim has good news with Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo available after serving one-match suspensions.
Young defender Leny Yoro is pushing for his first competitive start, while Amad Diallo, Marcus Rashford, and Joshua Zirkzee - all of whom impressed in a recent 4-0 victory over Everton - will be competing for spots in the starting XI.
Possible Starting XI
Amorim could opt for a three-man backline to compensate for the defensive absences. The lineup might feature:
Goalkeeper: André Onana
Defenders: Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez
Midfielders: Amad Diallo, Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo, Diogo Dalot
Forwards: Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee.
