It will be Man United vs Nottingham Forest in the late-kick off on Saturday and ahead of the big game we take a look at some of the key stats.
Man United vs Nottingham Forest Stats Ahead Of Saturday’s 5:30pm Clash
Not many people would have predicted that Nottingham Forest would be ahead of Manchester United 14 games into the Premier League season.
Yet, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side sit in an impressive sixth place – three points and five positions ahead of the Red Devils.
These two teams shared the points with a win apiece during the 2023-24 season – with the Red Devils picking up a 3-2 win in this fixture.
The table is so close that Ruben Amorim’s side might be currently sitting outside the top 10 at the moment, but could be as high as sixth by the end of the weekend if other results go their way.
Man United Vs Nottingham Forest Favourites To Get All Three Points
Ruben Amorim suffered his first defeat as Manchester United manager with a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday.
However, the best football betting sites in the UK have the Red Devils as favourites to win the match.
Manchester United are 8/13 to take all three points at the time of writing. A draw is currently at 3/1 and a Nottingham Forest win at 15/4.

Nottingham Forest picked up a rare victory over Manchester United when these sides last met in the Premier League.
Nicolo Dominguez and Morgan Gibbs-White struck in a 2-1 victory on December 30 last year. It was their first win over Manchester United since a win by the same scoreline at Old Trafford in December 1994.
A victory for Forest on Saturday would therefore be their first Old Trafford win in two decades.
