    FT: Man United 2-3 Nottingham Forest. It was all square at half time as goals from Milenkovic and Hojlund kept the two sides level on 1-1. However, United started the second period even worse as they conceded twice in less than ten minutes. Gibbs White stuck from range before Wood's header made it 1-3 for Espirito Santo's men. The hosts got one back again with captain Bruno Fernandes on the scoresheet, but it was not enough to condemn Amorim to a second consecutive defeat and his first at home.

    West Ham issued a statement earlier today informing that Michail Antonio has been involved in a road traffic accident. No details of the player's condition or further information about the incident have yet been given but the club said their "thoughts and prayers" were with the 34-year-old. We hope Michail is well as we wait for updates.
  • PRVW
    With Hojlund and Garnacho leading the attack alongside Bruno instead of Zirkzee and Rashford, will the Red Devils show the same attacking fierce as they did in their 4-0 win over Everton??
  • PRVW
    Ten minutes until kick-off, who's readyyyyyyyyy????
  • PRVW
    Here's how Nottingham Forest line up (4-2-3-1): Sels (GK); Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams; Anderson, Yates; Jota, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood.
  • PRVW

  • PRVW
    Lineups have landed at Old Trafford!!! Let's see what they're saying....
  • PRVW
    A host of legendary former players such as David Beckham and Wayne Rooney and stars from the current squad like Marcus Rashford were among those to pay their tributes.
  • PRVW
    It's been a sad week for United off the field as popular former receptionist Kath Phipps, who worked at the club for over 55 years, died at the age of 85 on Thursday.
  • PRVW
    Here's how Nottingham Forest could line up (4-2-3-1): Sels (GK); Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Dominguez; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Anderson; Wood.
  • PRVW
    Here's how Man United could line up (3-4-2-1): Onana (GK); De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Diallo, Mainoo, Ugarte, Dalot; Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee.
  • PRVW
    With that all settled let's have a look at the possible lineupsssssssssss!!
  • PRVW
    Injuries have been kinder to Forest this season, but remain without key midfield pair Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare, who are still unavailable with long-term injuries. That said Sangare is back in training after breaking his ankle on the opening day of the season.
  • PRVW
    Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo return to the squad after missing the defeat at the Emirates due to a one-game ban. The pair had accumulated five yellow cards this season but have now served their suspension.
  • PRVW
    Amorim will be pleased to see that injuries are easing up for the Red Devils. Leny Yoro made his competitive debut against Arsenal midweek. Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw - who recently suffered a set back - are the only ones missing for today's clash.
  • PRVW
    Let's have a look at team news before we see some possible lineups!!!
  • PRVW
    Meanwhile, a win for United would take them up to 7th, thus overtaking their upcoming visitors due to a higher goal difference.
  • PRVW
    A win from the visitors would take them in 5th place (Conference League spot), thus overtaking Brighton and sitting behind the defending Premier League champions - who will soon kick-off their fixture against Crystal Palace.
  • PRVW
    After a shock victory at Liverpool earlier in the season, Nuno Espirito Santo's men have struggled to replicate their form against the other top six teams, suffering defeat against Newcastle, Arsenal and Man City in three of their last four outings.
  • PRVW
    On the other hand, Nottingham Forest have enjoyed an incredible start to the campaign, sitting in 7th position after six wins, 4 draws and 4 losses.
  • PRVW
    After a rollercoaster start to the Amorim era, Man United sit in 13th position but are only three points off the top six.
  • PRVW
    The former Sporting boss urged fans to "manage their expectations" and have patience as he added: "Nowadays it's like that. We have to manage expectations and at the same time when you have a bad result you have to be calm and continue to do the job that we are doing".
  • PRVW
    "It's hard because it's very competitive this league and changes all the time with just one result," Amorim said at his Friday press conference. "Before this Arsenal game, you guys were asking about the top four, and now we return to this position".
  • PRVW
    But the Portuguese admitted that he expected his side to lose at some point, feeling like his positive start exceeded people's expectations a little.
  • PRVW
    Ruben Amorim, who is yet to lose at the Theatre of Dreams, will be looking to return to winning ways after suffering his first defeat at the helm of the Red Devils midweek when Arsenal netted twice from set-pieces to beat them 2-0 at the Emirates.
  • PRVW
    This decision means United can continue the league campaign without delays and strengthen their position in the standings.
  • PRVW
    "The club will continue to consult the relevant authorities throughout the day and will update supporters immediately if anything changes," United added in their statement.
  • PRVW
    However, Man United issued a statement confirming that Old Trafford has been deemed safe to host the match, and no significant travel issues are expected for players or fans.
  • PRVW
    After the Merseyside derby was postponed earlier today, questions were raised about whether the same would happen to the Red Devils' fixture, with severe winds and heavy rainfall causing concern.
  • PRVW
    Despite Storm Darragh's widespread disruptions in the UK, the match is set to take place as planned.
