3-4-3: Man United strongest possible starting XI vs Nottingham Forest, team news and injury updates

Ruben Amorim will be eager to return to winning ways with a strong showing of football against Nottingham Forest in a Premier League home game after suffering his first loss as Manchester United’s manager against Arsenal midweek.

Under the Portuguese coach, the Red Devils want to develop a new project and adjust to a new system.

There have been encouraging developments in each of the games played under Amorim thus far, but there has also been room for growth.

Amorim’s sole hope at this point is that the players gradually begin to grasp his system and get better with each game. Along with the three points, this will be the main focus versus Nottingham Forest.

With all this in mind, here is how we think Ruben Amorim can set Man Utd up against Nottingham Forest and one would have to assume that he continues with his rotational policy against Nuno’s side.

In goal, Andre Onana is likely to start in between the posts. This is the only area on the field where Amorim might not show signs of rotating.

In front of him, the back three is likely to have Leny Yoro, making his first start, Matthijs de Ligt through the middle and Lisandro Martinez, returning from a suspension, from the left.

Diogo Dalot is due a rest and Noussair Mazraoui could start instead of him as the left wing-back. Amad Diallo is almost certain to come in on the right after being rotated out midweek against Arsenal, at least in the first half.

Casemiro should replace Manuel Ugarte and partner Kobbie Mainoo who is also coming back from a suspension. Bruno Fernandes should continue in one of the two attacking roles just behind the striker with Marcus Rashford coming on from the left.

Through the middle, Joshua Zirkzee is likely to start. He had an impressive display against Everton last weekend and should replace Rasmus Hojlund through the middle. Man Utd should be looking for the win and let’s wait and see how it plays out.

Man Utd strongest possible XI vs Nottingham Forest: Onana; de Ligt, Yoro, Martinez; Diallo, Ugarte, Mainoo, Mazraoui; Fernandes, Rashford, Zirkzee
