Manchester United XI vs Nottingham Forest – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester United travel to the City Ground today, aiming for a fourth consecutive Premier League victory.

This would represent their best winning streak of the season so far. After a difficult start, Rúben Amorim’s side have certainly found form. In fact, since the third matchday, only Arsenal have picked up more points than United. The Red Devils have also been the league’s top scorers in that period.

Consequently, United will be confident of continuing their climb up the table. However, they face a Nottingham Forest side that famously did the league double over them last season. Amorim will, therefore, be demanding a professional performance. He knows his side must avoid a repeat of those results and maintain their current momentum.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is facing uncertainty in central defence ahead of the trip to Nottingham Forest . Harry Maguire , who missed the 4-2 win over Brighton, remains a major doubt for this weekend’s fixture. The club’s medical staff will assess him again this morning. Should he be ruled out, Leny Yoro is in line to deputise once more.

In more positive long-term news, Lisandro Martinez has returned to first-team training. This marks a welcome sight at Carrington after an almost nine-month absence with a knee injury. While his return is a significant boost, the manager has confirmed that this match comes too soon for the Argentine. The team is slowly reintegrating him into the squad.

Elsewhere, Mason Mount is fully available after being an unused substitute against Brighton. This leaves Amorim with an otherwise fit squad to choose from.

Possible Manchester United starting XI: Lammens; De Ligt, Yoro, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha; Šeško

The Premier League fixture takes place at the City Ground today, Saturday, 1 November 2025. Kick-off is scheduled for 3:00 pm GMT.

This match will not air live in the UK due to the 3:00 pm GMT Saturday blackout.
