The highs of February’s Carabao Cup triumph have quickly been usurped by Premier League perils at Manchester United.
After beating Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley to claim their first piece of silverware under Erik ten Hag, United have endured a barren run in the league and have subsequently fallen out of the top-four. Defeats at Anfield and St. James’ Park were chastening in their own ways, and it’s safe to say Ten Hag is currently going through his first tricky period since the first two weeks of the 2022/23 campaign – although a win over Brentford did help steady the ship.

United were successful on their most recent trip to the City Ground in the Carabao Cup, but Forest’s desperation renders this a tricky fixture for Ten Hag’s side.
