Manchester United predicted lineup against Nottingham Forest

[ad_1]

Manchester United will host Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night in the first competitive meeting between these famous clubs in the 21st century.

When the two teams last met in February 1999, Nottingham Forest had won more European Cups (twice) than Manchester United (one). On their way to leveling this number of big-eared trophies, the Red Devils cruised to a humiliating 8-1 win at City Ground.

This match may have been the setting for one of the greatest substitute performances in Premier League history – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came off the bench to score four goals that afternoon – but the start is the focus at the moment.

Here’s XI Erik ten Hag may be deployed in an effort to emulate the club’s previous victories against (not always so) tough trees.

GK: David De Gea – Martin Dubravka’s revenge against a clean sheet in the Carabao Cup only confirmed De Gea’s status as a first-team goalkeeper.

Right-back: Aaron Wan-Bissaka Ten Hag has surprisingly admitted that Manchester United “missed him for the first 14 Premier League games”. If Wan-Bissaka continues to display the same verve that defined his display against Burnley, many could agree with the United manager.

CB: Casemiro – In the past decade, Casemiro has only started six matches as a centre-back (per transfer market). If Harry Maguire cannot recover from his illness by Tuesday, that number could rise to seven.

CB Playmaker: Victor Lindelof The Iceman lived up to his nickname when he trained with the Manchester Storm ice hockey team in 2018.

Left-back: Luke Shaw – one of three players to have a one-year contract extension following the World Cup.

CM: Scott McTominay – In two years as a teenager, McTominay had grown 14 inches, climbing to a towering 6’4.

CM: Christian Eriksen – The former Danish national team manager turned to the animal kingdom in an attempt to describe Eriksen’s vision. Egg Hareid said: “Flies have eyes that can see all the way around the head. So do Christian Eriksen.”

AM: Bruno Fernandes – According to the man himself, the referee’s opinion of Fernandes changes with the outcome. “Bruno, all the time you win, you’re a good guy. But when you lose or draw, oh my gosh, you ache in my ass.”

RW: Anthony – When Manchester United traveled to Istanbul to face Galatasaray in 1993, they were greeted with a banner that read: “Welcome to Hell.” This is not a threat to Anthony, who grew up in a São Paulo favela known as “Little Hell”.

Forward: Anthony Martial – In September, Martial lamented his absence from France’s 2018 World Cup-winning squad. “I should have been there,” he groaned. Martial was not included in the 2022 edition of the finalists either.

Zarif: Marcus Rashford – Over the past two months, Rashford has scored a goal every 93 minutes for club and country.
