Manchester United will look to make it two wins from two when they take on a resurgent Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Erik ten Hag’s side completed a superb comeback in midweek to win 3-2 against Aston Villa and now look to end the year on a high note after an inconsistent start to the Premier League season.
However, the Red Devils face a tricky task up against a Forest side who have seen an immediate upturn in form since the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo.
Forest were unfortunate to not pick up a point against Bournemouth last weekend but picked up their first points since Steve Cooper’s departure in some style on Boxing Day, with a comprehensive 3-1 away win against Newcastle United.
