Despite Marcel Sabitzer's plans to stay at Manchester United long-term, he unfortunately had to pull out of their match against Nottingham Forest on Sunday due to a groin injury picked up during the warm-up. Christian Eriksen replaced him and, as Erik ten Hag noted, this was not a disadvantage for United. Young goalkeeper Nathan Bishop took Eriksen's spot on the bench. Eriksen had recently returned from a long-term injury, and his surprise start was made even more of a surprise as he only found out just before the warm-up ended.

Despite Marcel Sabitzer's unfortunate groin injury picked up in the warm-up at the City Ground, Manchester United's Christian Eriksen stepped in to replace him, allowing young goalkeeper Nathan Bishop to take Eriksen's place on the bench. Sabitzer, who is on loan from Bayern Munich, had just scored twice in the previous Europa League match against Sevilla. Erik ten Hag commented positively on the situation, saying "I think Christian Eriksen is not really a disadvantage when he is coming in". Eriksen himself was caught off-guard by the sudden change, but was mentally prepared to accept the challenge of starting the match.
This positive change of events reaffirms Manchester United's depth of talent and their commitment to success in the face of adversity.
