Manchester United will look to get back on the winning path when they hostNottingham Forest In Premier League action this evening.

Ruben Amorim suffered his first defeat on Wednesday at Arsenal with the United boss showing that night shift rotation will be an important element in the future.

Amad Diallo, Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee all start on the bench despite everything, in the 4-0 victory against Everton last weekend.

Alejandro Garnacho started on Wednesday, but a calm display did not justify him retaining his place this weekend.

Amorim, meanwhile, will have to make the decision to play catch-up, with Rasmus Hojlund also struggling to make an impact, albeit with little help, isolated alone up front for much of the match in north London.

United will have Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo back after serving midweek suspensions.

Amorim admitted in his press conference on Friday that Bruno Fernandes was “very tired” after the Arsenal game, but even amid a lot of rotations, the skipper will surely keep his place in the team.

Leny Yoro came off the bench to make his competitive debut. after recovering from the broken metatarsal suffered in pre-season.

The teenager showed moments of real promise, playing a role on the right of the back three to deal with the one-on-one threat of Leandro Trossard.

Victor Lindelof has returned to training but will not be considered for selection this weekend, with the Europa League trip to Viktoria Plzen next Thursday being a more realistic objective for the Swede.

The England international came off the bench to play at left-back three times under the new manager. but a hamstring problem disrupted the manager’s plans for him with no real timetable for his return yet.
