Man United Aim to Extend Winning Run as They Face Forest Challenge
It’s a big weekend in the Premier League, and all eyes are turning to the City Ground, where Nottingham Forest will host a resurgent Manchester United. The Red Devils, under Ruben Amorim, have suddenly found their rhythm — and they’re looking to make it four wins in a row across all competitions.
Manchester United’s form right now is probably the best fans have seen in months. Victories over Sunderland, Liverpool, and most recently Brighton, have lifted them into sixth place — above both Liverpool and Chelsea. Their 4–2 win over Brighton last weekend showed how Amorim’s new attacking trio has started to click. Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Šeško are beginning to look like the dangerous forward line United have been searching for. But Amorim won’t take anything for granted — especially against a team that beat him twice last season.

On the other side, Nottingham Forest remain a bit of a mystery. Sean Dyche has only been in charge for two league games since stepping in, and the results have been mixed. He started with a strong 2–0 win over Porto in the Europa League, but then fell to Bournemouth by the same scoreline. Forest have already gone through three managers this season, and Dyche’s main goal right now will be to steady the ship and find consistency.
Team news could play a major role in how this match unfolds. For Forest, top scorer Chris Wood is still out with a knee injury, so Dyche will rely on either Igor Jesus or Taiwo Awoniyi up front. He’s also missing a few key defenders — Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ola Aina are sidelined — which means the back line might once again have to be reshuffled.
As for United, things look far more positive. Lisandro Martínez has finally returned to training after his long injury absence, though he’s not yet ready to play. Harry Maguire is still a doubt, but Amorim is expected to stick with the same lineup that beat Brighton. Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes should again control midfield, while Mbeumo, Cunha, and Šeško will lead the line.
In terms of what to expect, this is shaping up to be a proper test of United’s momentum. They’re scoring goals freely, but defensively, there are still some concerns — they’ve only managed one clean sheet all season. Forest, meanwhile, are tough to beat at home and will certainly look to take advantage of any lapse in United’s backline.
Most predictions are leaning toward a United win, though not by much. A 2–1 victory for the visitors seems likely — but with Forest’s home crowd behind them and Dyche’s defensive organization, a draw wouldn’t be a huge surprise either. One thing’s for sure: both sides have something to prove when they walk out at the City Ground this Saturday.
