Tonight, Manchester United is determined to bounce back from their recent loss as they take on Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. The team suffered their first defeat under manager Ruben Amorim on Wednesday against Arsenal, and it was clear that squad rotation will play a major role in their future games.
Despite their impressive performance in the 4-0 win over Everton last weekend, Amad Diallo, Marcus Rashford, and Joshua Zirkzee were all left on the bench for the Arsenal match. Youngster Alejandro Garnacho also had a quiet game, leading to doubts about his place in the starting lineup for this weekend.
Up front, Amorim faces a tough decision with Rasmus Hojlund struggling to make an impact in the Arsenal game. However, with the return of Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo from suspension, the manager will have more options to choose from.
During his press conference on Friday, Amorim revealed that Bruno Fernandes was exhausted after the Arsenal match. Despite this, the skipper will most likely retain his place in the team as he has been a key player for Amorim so far.
Meanwhile, Leny Yoro made his competitive debut on Wednesday after recovering from a fractured metatarsal. The teenager showed glimpses of his potential and will be hoping for more minutes this weekend. However, Amorim has emphasized the need to be cautious with players returning from injury.
Unfortunately, Victor Lindelof will not be available for selection this weekend as he continues to recover from an injury. Luke Shaw also remains on the sidelines with a hamstring issue, disrupting Amorim's plans for him. There is no definite timeline for his return yet.
Jonny Evans is also still unavailable due to injury. As for the predicted starting lineup, Amorim may choose to go with Onana, Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Amad, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot, Rashford, Fernandes, and Hojlund.
For those wondering where to watch the game, it will be broadcasted live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event at 5:30pm on Saturday. Subscribers can also stream the match on Sky Go or NOW TV.
