Manchester United host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, with the hosts requiring just one point to seal a third-place finish in the top flight and complete a remarkable turnaround under Michael Carrick.
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.
Here’s everything you need to know.
