Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Manchester United are currently fifth in the league, six points behind second-placed Manchester City. Erik ten Hag has been given full reigns to change the direction of the club, and the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo will aid in unnecessary attention being drawn away from the club.
Ronaldo's departure, however, necessitates the signing of another attacker. While Anthony Martial is highly rated by Ten Hag, the Frenchman's injury record recently has created more problems. PSV Eindhoven's Cody Gakpo was linked with the club in the summer, and the 23-year-old is reportedly inching close to joining the club in January.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, are 18th in the league, three points ahead of 20th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers and one point behind 17th-placed Everton. They recently announced the signing of Brazilian midfielder Gustavo Scarpa, and the 28-year-old is expected to add some creativity and flair.
Manchester United are still in the early stages of their new project under Erik ten Hag, but they certainly have the tools to win this game and should do so.
