Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United Lineups and Predicted Playing XI for English Premier League 2024-25 Match

Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White are doubtful for the Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United English Premier League 2024-25 game for the hosts. Also, ex-Manchester United player Anthony Elanga in the midfield will be a star attraction in the Nottingham Forest line-up. Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Ayden Heaven, and Jonny Evans are some big names set to miss the fixture from the Red Devils camp. Although Ruben Amorim must be having enough choices to worry a little. He usually prefers a 3-4-2-1 formation, with which he had outstanding wins in the last two games against Leicester City and in the UEFA Europa League knock-out game against Real Sociedad. The formation is expected to remain unchanged. Manchester United To Leave Old Trafford, Sir Jim Ratcliffe Announces Plans for Newly Built 100,000-Seater ‘Iconic’ Ground.
