Is Manchester United v Nottingham Forest on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Manchester United will hope to bounce back from their first defeat under Ruben Amorim as Nottingham Forest come to Old Trafford.

After a vibrant performance against Everton on Sunday, Amorim’s side failed to fire against Arsenal in midweek and suffered a 2-0 loss.

A victory here would lift them above their opponents, though, as Manchester United look to climb the table under their new manager.

Nottingham Forest’s charge for a European qualification place has been somewhat checked by a run of three defeats in four games amid a tough run of fixtures, though Nuno Espirito Santo’s team remain firmly in the mix.

Here’s everything you need to know.
