Manchester United v Nottingham Forest LIVE: Team news and latest Premier League updates – UK Times

Carrick’s impressive spell in interim charge is set to be turned into a permanent one, with a new deal imminent – and possibly arriving as soon as today’s match.

The Red Devils were held to a goalless draw at Sunderland last time out but will expect to be back to their usual form at Old Trafford, while Nottingham Forest – who have completed a brilliant reversal of fortunes of their own in the second half of this season – drew 1-1 with Newcastle.

Vitor Pereira’s side has already secured their own top-flight survival but have a point to prove after a 4-0 shellacking in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Aston Villa, and will be desperate to get back to winning ways – and they have form at Old Trafford, winning 3-2 in this same fixture last season.

Good morning and welcome to another day of Premier League action.

Manchester United kick things off today as they host Nottingham Forest, needing just a point to seal a third-place finish after a remarkable turnaround in fortunes under Michael Carrick.

Forest meanwhile have confirmed their top-flight survival after a late flurry of fine performances – but they’ll be bruised after crashing out of the Europa League to Midlands rivals Aston Villa.
