Having tasted his first defeat as Manchester United manager midweek against Arsenal, Ruben Amorim will be keen to get back to winning ways with an impressive display of football against Nottingham Forest in a home game in the Premier League.
The Red Devils are looking to adapt to a new system and build a new project under the Portuguese coach.

In all the games under Amorim so far, there have been positive signs and there has also been some scope for improvement.
The only thing Amorim can ask right now is that the players start understanding his system slowly yet surely and show signs of improvement with every passing game. This will be the focus against Nottingham Forest and of course, the three points.
With all this in mind, here is how we think Ruben Amorim can set Man Utd up against Nottingham Forest and one would have to assume that he continues with his rotational policy against Nuno’s side.
In goal, Andre Onana is likely to start in between the posts. This is the only area on the field where Amorim might not show signs of rotating. In front of him, the back three is likely to have Leny Yoro, making his first start, Matthijs de Ligt through the middle and Lisandro Martinez, returning from a suspension, from the left.
Diogo Dalot is due a rest and Noussair Mazraoui could start instead of him as the left wing-back. Amad Diallo is almost certain to come in on the right after being rotated out midweek against Arsenal, at least in the first half.
Casemiro should replace Manuel Ugarte and partner Kobbie Mainoo who is also coming back from a suspension. Bruno Fernandes should continue in one of the two attacking roles just behind the striker with Marcus Rashford coming on from the left.
Through the middle, Joshua Zirkzee is likely to start. He had an impressive display against Everton last weekend and should replace Rasmus Hojlund through the middle. Man Utd should be looking for the win and let’s wait and see how it plays out.
**Man Utd strongest possible XI vs Nottingham Forest:** Onana; de Ligt, Yoro, Martinez; Diallo, Ugarte, Mainoo, Mazraoui; Fernandes, Rashford, Zirkzee.
