Man Utd face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League fixture on Tuesday night.
Manchester United have made four changes to their starting line up against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Tuesday night. Ruben Amorim's side is looking to win consecutive league matches for the first time this season, and he has made the bold call to drop Rasmus Hojlund.
Leny Yoro returns from injury to replace Ayden Heaven in defence, while Victor Lindelof has been replaced by Casemiro. Patrick Dorgu comes into the side for Christian Eriksen and Joshua Zirkzee has been selected to lead the line instead of Hojlund. Teenage striker Chido Obi is not in the squad, with Harry Amass and Sekou Kone both named on the bench.

Altay Bayindir and Harry Maguire both return from injury to be named on the bench at the City Ground, while Tom Heaton is fit but has not been named in the final matchday squad. Mason Mount could make his first performance of the calendar year after he was an unused substitute against Leicester last time out.
Ruben Amorim is expecting another difficult clash for Manchester United against Nottingham Forest, but believes they can win the game as long as they do two things:
"We need to be really focused on the game," he told MUTV. “We have to do, because we prove already against big teams, that we can win any game. So we need to be really focused, really concentrate in everything, set pieces, transitions, they are really strong, they are really smart, they are in the good moment also. So if we are focused and we have energy in the game, we can win any game."
The changes to the starting line up mean United have a stronger bench than they have had in recent weeks, and Amorim believes substitutes could make a key impact against Forest. He added: "It’s really important. Because every team improves that when we have competition inside the group. It’s really important even to change the game in the middle of the game. It’s really important in this league to change characteristics of the players to do something different during the game.”
