There will be pressure on Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday, as Erik ten Hag’s side look to bounce back after a disappointing start to the new season. Nottingham Forest will be the visitors, and they should be in good confidence after landing a first win of the season at the City Ground on Friday.
Erik ten Hag has huge issues to address at Manchester United, as the Red Devils have been well below the high standards required over their opening two matches of the season. United opened the season with a narrow 1-0 win over Wolves at the Theatre of Dreams, but they fell to a first loss of the new season on matchday two against Tottenham.
United looked light in midfield in North London on Saturday, and they lacked quality in the final third as they suffered a 2-0 defeat. The defeat saw United’s record in London reach new lows, as they have now won just once in ten league fixtures in the capital. They have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 matches in London.
Nottingham Forest should come into this match at Old Trafford in good confidence, as they registered a first league win of the season on Friday evening, as they landed a 2-1 success against Sheffield United. Forest landed maximum points in the closing stages, as Chris Wood scored a dramatic winner with just seconds remaining.
Taiwo Awoniyi had given Forest the lead after three minutes, which saw him become only the second Forest player to score in six straight Premier League matches. He could become the first player to score in seven consecutive Premier League matches for the club at Old Trafford on Saturday.
United dominated the clashes between the sides last season, as they landed four wins across all competitions. They scored an average of 2.5 goals per game, and Forest failed to find the net once. The league meeting between the two at Old Trafford saw the Red Devils pick up a 3-0 win.
United’s dominant record in this fixture is very challenging to overlook this weekend. However, the issues in midfield can’t be overlooked, meaning that we will be siding with the Red Devils to land maximum points with both teams finding the net.
