There will be pressure back on Erik ten Hag ahead of this showdown with Nottingham Forest in the fifth round of the FA Cup this week. United will be looking to get their campaign back on track, while Forest will be chasing a second straight win against the Red Devils.
The pressure is back on Erik ten Hag at Man United after the club’s strong run of form was quickly ended in shocking fashion against Fulham over the weekend. That defeat ended a four-game winning sequence for the Red Devils, with United now sitting seven points off the Champions League spots. The FA Cup also holds extra significance this term, as it is the club’s best chance of major silverware.
Nottingham Forest also don’t come into this match in a positive run of form after losing three of their last five. Over that period, they have recorded just a single victory, and they remain just four points clear of the bottom three places in the standings. But, confidence will be taken from the win that they achieved against United at the City Ground a few weeks ago.
United will come up against Premier League opposition for the first time in the FA Cup this season after breezing past Wigan and Newport County in the third round and fourth round, respectively. Forest have been taken to replays in each of the last two rounds, reaching this stage after winning a penalty shootout against Bristol City.
Forest will be looking to reach the quarterfinal stage of the FA Cup for the second time in three seasons. Meanwhile, United will be looking to break an FA Cup record by reaching a 48th quarterfinal in the competition.
Forest have progressed from four of their last five ties against Man United in the FA Cup. Meanwhile, United have already suffered defeat at the City Ground this term. However, the Red Devils haven’t suffered back to back losses away from home against Forest since December 1984.
The injury problems that United have are mounting up, and that could leave them vulnerable at the City Ground. Therefore, we will be taking a chance on the draw after 90 minutes, before Forest progress through via penalties.
