Steve Cooper receives ‘nailed it’ response after Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd decision

Nottingham Forest fans have reacted to Steve Cooper’s starting line-up ahead of a crucial match against Manchester United at the City Ground.

The Reds host Erik ten Hag’s side knowing that a point would see them climb out of the relegation zone thanks to Everton’s loss against Fulham on Saturday afternoon. Forest currently sit in 18th place in the table, only in the bottom three on goal difference.

A win over Manchester United would give their survival hopes a big boost, with Cooper naming his team for the game at the City Ground. The Forest boss has made four changes to the side that lost 2-0 against Aston Villa in their last outing.
