Erik ten Hag press conference live Manchester United team news vs Forest and injury latest

Erik ten Hag will speak to the press on Friday lunchtime as he looks ahead to Manchester United's weekend clash with Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

United head into the match with a renewed sense of optimism following their comeback victory over Aston Villa earlier in the week. But they know that they can't afford any complacency against a Forest side that won so impressively away at Newcastle on Boxing Day.

In terms of good omens, United have won their last 11 meetings with Nottingham Forest in all competitions – only against Aston Villa (2003-2008) and Wigan Athletic (2005-2011) have they ever had longer winning runs (14 in both instances).

Ten Hag is expected to issue some team news ahead of the match after summer signing Mason Mount returned to team training earlier this week. There could also be fitness updates provided on Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro.

A look at the main talking points ahead of the press conference.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espírito Santo has only won one of his seven Premier League games against Manchester United (D3 L3), losing each of the last three in a row.

Of the teams he has faced 5+ times in the competition, only against Liverpool (0 wins in six) does he have a lower win percentage than against United (14%).

The new manager's bounce might not count for much tomorrow.

It will be interesting to hear what Erik ten Hag has to say about the injury situation this lunchtime.

Harry Maguire and Amad are both close to a return and watched the Aston Villa win from the directors box, while Mason Mount returned to team training earlier this week.

Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez are both expected back next month and
