Manchester United aims to conclude 2023 on a positive note by clinching a triumph at Nottingham Forest today.
The Red Devils bounced back spectacularly against Aston Villa on Boxing Day, overcoming a two-goal deficit at halftime for a remarkable 3-2 win. Alejandro Garnacho's double and Rasmus Hojlund's maiden Premier League goal secured the comeback.
Manager Erik ten Hag anticipates a similar performance against Forest, with the potential return of Sofyan Amrabat and Luke Shaw, both recovering from minor injuries.
The predicted formation is 4-2-3-1, and the expected lineup includes Andre Onana in goal, who had a mixed outing against Villa. In defense, a possible change sees Shaw returning to the left-back position, with Diogo Dalot moving to right-back.
Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans are likely to retain their central defensive roles, while Kobbie Mainoo, after an impressive display, may be rested in the upcoming FA Cup tie. Christian Eriksen, returning to the starting XI, is poised for the number eight position.
Club captain Bruno Fernandes, praised for his quick long balls against Villa, will play in the number 10 role. The attack remains unchanged, with Marcus Rashford on the left-wing, Garnacho on the opposite flank, and Hojlund aiming for another goal contribution.
Unfortunately, Anthony Martial is sidelined with illness and won't be part of the squad.
