The match is live streaming on Sky Sports Main Event in the UK, as well as live commentary from Old Trafford on BBC Radio 5 live Sport.
Amorim experienced an unfamiliar setback on Wednesday with a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal, marking his first league loss since last December. There were encouraging signs from United’s performance at the Emirates.
Under Amorim, United appear more cohesive compared to his predecessor, Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils demonstrated better work ethic off the ball and maintained their defensive shape more effectively—something the traveling fans haven’t often seen. With these improvements, their struggles in attack and vulnerability to Arsenal’s set pieces ultimately scuppered their hopes of an upset.
United will likely have more chances to capitalize offensively against a Nottingham Forest side that suffered a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City earlier this week.
Forest started the season strongly but have now lost three of their last four matches and historically struggle against United.
Amorim’s first two home games in charge, a thrilling 3-2 comeback win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League and a dominant 4-0 victory against Everton highlight United’s attacking potential.
These games also revealed a tendency to concede opportunities to opponents, making both teams scoring a plausible scenario for this fixture.
Amorim has rotated his lineup heavily, making six changes in each of his last three matches. Captain Bruno Fernandes remains a constant presence.
Recently nominated for the Premier League’s November Player of the Month award, Fernandes is expected to play in a more advanced role than he did against Arsenal, increasing his chances of finding the back of the net.
