Latest Nottingham vs MU team information

After the match against Brighton, Forest manager Nuno said Chris Wood is likely to miss the match against Man United due to a hip injury suffered while playing for New Zealand during the international break.

Morgan Gibbs-White also needs to be assessed after his heavy collision with the goalpost against Brighton, but there is hope the England midfielder will recover in time to face the 20-time English champions.

If Chris Wood cannot play, former Man United player Anthony Elanga can be pushed into the center forward position, while Jota Silva will take charge of the wing.

The rest of the squad remains largely unchanged, with Callum Hudson-Odoi expected to start on the left wing, while tall centre-back Nikola Milenkovic continues to be in the starting lineup.

As for Man United, five players returned to training last weekend after injury, including Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton - all eligible to play.

Patrick Dorgu has also completed his domestic suspension and will be included in the squad. However, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Ayden Heaven and Jonny Evans are all set to miss out.

Coach Ruben Amorim faces a number of difficult choices across the front lines. Up front, Joshua Zirkzee could be recalled to the starting line-up, while Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund could also start after ending their goal drought against Leicester.

Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro could be included in a back three, while Patrick Dorgu is expected to play on the left flank – a position he excelled in against Real Sociedad in the Europa League.

Latest predicted lineup for Nottingham vs MU

Nottingham Forest:
Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, N Williams; Dominguez, Anderson; Jota, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Elanga

Manchester United:
Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee

Latest Nottingham vs MU football review

Last season, Nottingham Forest finished 17th in the Premier League and narrowly avoided relegation, so the fact that they are currently third is a surprise to many.

This season, “The Reds” have really performed impressively with 16 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses after 29 rounds, earning 54 points – enough to rank third, six points ahead of Manchester City (fifth) in the race for a ticket to the Champions League.

Forest have won the European Cup twice and now top European football could return to the City Ground next season, but Nuno Espirito Santo and his men still have work to do in the final stages of the season.

In their most recent match on 15 March, Forest won 4-2 against Ipswich Town. Last weekend, they also booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals after beating Brighton & Hove Albion on penalties.

Forest beat Man United 3-2 at Old Trafford in December, and they are aiming for a double over the "Red Devils" in a season for the first time since the 1991-92 season, when legendary Brian Clough was in charge of the team.

Nuno's side are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League home games, winning six. That run includes draws against leaders Liverpool and Arsenal, underlining the challenge facing United on Tuesday night.

As for Man United, they are surprisingly looking for a second successive Premier League win – something they have not achieved this season. The team went into the March international break full of confidence after a 3-0 win over Leicester City.

Man United also just crushed Real Sociedad 4-1 in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 at Old Trafford on March 13. They will meet Lyon in the quarter-finals of this tournament.

The chance to qualify for the Champions League via the Premier League this season is almost gone for Man United, but winning the Europa League will help them return to Europe's most prestigious arena in the 2025-26 season.

There is no denying that this season has been extremely difficult for the 20-time English champions. However, their last two performances have given them hope, and they have not lost in 90 minutes since mid-February against Tottenham.

In fact, the Europa League is a much more important target for Man United at the moment. However, with a long break before this match, Ruben Amorim's team - currently 13th in the table - can fully hope for a positive result.

The Red Devils have lost their last two Premier League games against Forest, including a 2-1 defeat at the City Ground last season. However, they did win 1-0 at the same venue in the 2023-24 FA Cup.
