Ten Hag names team to take on Forest

Saturday 26 August 2023 14:00

Erik ten Hag has picked his Manchester United side to tackle Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.

The Reds are looking to make it two wins out of two at home this term, following the 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in our opener. However, on the back of the loss at Tottenham last time out, there is certainly a need to get another three points on the board ahead of next weekend's trip to Arsenal, one of only three sides with a flawless record after two fixtures.

Ten Hag has confirmed Luke Shaw and Mason Mount face spells on the sidelines, meaning changes were inevitable for our 15:00 BST kick-off against Steve Cooper's men, and the boss has made three of them.

Anthony Martial is included for his 300th United appearance, after coming on as a substitute against Spurs, with Marcus Rashford set to switch to the left flank in a wider role.

Christian Eriksen, as expected, replaces Mount, while Diogo Dalot starts at left-back instead of Shaw.

Youngster Daniel Gore is rewarded for his fine pre-season with a first spot on the bench, alongside Alvaro Fernandez and Dean Henderson, who spent last term on loan at Forest.
