Man United vs Nottingham preview & prediction

Match preview

This weekend, the Premier League will resume play with a new slate of games. On Saturday, August 26, a vital match between Nottingham Forest and Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United team will take place at Old Trafford.

The Premier League standings now have Nottingham Forest in 10th place, and they have performed admirably thus far this year. They narrowly defeated Sheffield United 2-1 last week, and they will have to put in a lot of effort to repeat that performance this time around.

On the other hand, Manchester United has not been at their best thus far and is now in 12th place in the league rankings. The Red Devils must win this weekend after suffering a discouraging 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in their previous match.

Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest prediction

Manchester United has improved under Erik ten Hag, but their first two games this season have been deceptive. On their best days, the Red Devils can be formidable opponents, so on Saturday, they’ll need their stars to shine.

Nottingham Forest has really improved over the past few weeks and has the ability to pull off an upset on occasion. On paper, Manchester United is the superior team, thus they should be able to prevail in this match.
