Manchester United return to Premier League action tonight as they take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, hoping to pick up where they left off before the international break.
Ruben Amorim’s side enters this clash riding a wave of confidence after back-to-back wins—dispatching Real Sociedad in Europe and edging past Leicester City domestically.
The challenge now? Sustain that momentum in a fixture that promises intensity.
But Forest won’t be pushovers. The East Midlands side has been one of the league’s more resilient outfits this season. United will need both precision and purpose to get past them.
For much of the season, United’s campaign has been haunted by injury woes—but relief is finally in sight.
According to Forest News, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount have all returned to first-team training. Among them, Maguire, Yoro, and Mount are expected to be available for tonight’s match.
One scare loomed large: Ayden Heaven’s injury against Leicester initially sparked concern, but the issue turned out less severe than feared according to Manchester evening news. Still, he won’t be risked for this fixture.
Lisandro Martínez remains sidelined long-term. Amad Diallo is nearing full fitness but won’t feature yet, while Kobbie Mainoo isn’t ready to return either.
Meanwhile, Patrick Dorgu, who served a three-match domestic ban following a red card against Ipswich Town, is once again eligible to feature.
