Man United Predicted starting XI vs Nottingham Forest; confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Ruben Amorim is set to be without two defenders for Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest this afternoon.

Man Utd arrive at the City Ground in good form having won their last three in a row and Amorim will hope to keep the good feeling going as he faces Sean Dyche, who has been critical of his tactical approach.

Amorim’s side made it through their win over Brighton last week with no fresh injuries. Lisandro Martinez is closing in on a return to play after tearing his ACL in February and is back in full team training, but the match will come too soon for him to be involved.

Harry Maguire missed the meeting with the Seagulls with a knock, about which little has been revealed, and Amorim said he is unsure whether the centre-back will be involved at the City Ground.

The trick for Man United this week will be to build on the successes of their previous outings. To that end, Amorim will likely shy away from making wholesale changes, especially as his side did not play in midweek.

There is no reason to drop Senne Lammens, who has impressed since taking over the No1 berth from Altay Bayindir.

Problems arise, however, in the back three, which could demand some tweaks after United shipped two goals against Brighton, meaning Noussair Mazraoui or Ayden Heaven could slot in for Leny Yoro.

Supporters have been crying out for Kobbie Mainoo to get a chance in the starting line-up for some time, but he will struggle to unseat Casemiro after he both scored and assisted against Brighton.

Predicted Manchester United XI (3-4-2-1): Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko

Injured: Martinez

Doubt: Maguire

Time and date: 3pm GMT today, Saturday November 1, 2025
