Predicted Manchester United line-up to face Nottingham Forest, Ruben Amorim makes one change

Manchester United have a glorious opportunity to make it four consecutive wins this weekend when they travel to Nottingham Forest.

Ruben Amorim arrived at Carrington earlier this week with a big smile on his face. You could tell some of the pressure has been lifted off his shoulders.

For that to continue, United need to win football matches. Amorim issued a warning about Forest’s threat, naming three key players in doing so, but the last thing he’ll want is his players underestimating the challenge ahead of them.

It won’t be easy, as Forest’s newly appointed manager Sean Dyche will be doing his utmost as manager to make life hard for United.

Amorim has big calls to make, whether to stick with the team that beat Brighton 4-2 last weekend or make any changes. United In Focus predicts one change from the line-up.

How Manchester United could line-up to face Brighton

With just two United players absent, Amorim has a very good selection to pick from on Saturday.

Here is our predicted line-up in a 3-4-2-1 formation.

Goalkeeper

Senne Lammens is the new number one, making the role his own with three impressive performances to date. The young stopper is looking for his second clean sheet of the season.

Defence

The back-three won’t change because Harry Maguire remains a doubt. That means Leny Yoro will keep his place alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw. The Dutch centre-back is becoming one of the first names on the team sheet by building on his strong performances each week.

The wing-back roles will be occupied by Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot.

Midfield

The midfield will remain the same because Amorim has made it clear who his favourites are. Casemiro is the preferred defensive option ahead of Manuel Ugarte, whereas Bruno Fernandes is the team’s talisman.

The two number 10 roles will be taken by Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount. The latter could return to the line-up after being benched with a minor knock last weekend. Amorim is a huge admirer of the England international and the energy he brings to the team.
