Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest LIVE early team news and predictions plus Man Utd fan protest

Manchester United will be hoping to return to winning ways when they host Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford in their second home match of the new Premier League season.

Erik ten Hag's side were fortunate to defeat Wolves on the opening day and well underperformed when they were beaten by Tottenham a week ago.

United have won their last 10 meetings with Forest in all competitions by an aggregate score of 36-3. They won all four meetings last season without conceding a single goal. Steve Cooper's side have won just one of 20 away Premier League games, with their 14 away defeats being the most of any current top-flight side in that time.

In terms of early team news, Luke Shaw is set to miss the match through injury, while summer signing Rasmus Hojlund is still not ready to feature.

Alvaro Fernandez is with the United first-team squad today amid their ongoing injury crisis.

He could be given a start in the match, with Diogo Dalot also a contender to fill in for Luke Shaw.

Dan Gore and Radek Vitek have both been spotted arriving at Old Trafford today.

United favourite Dimitar Berbatov claims his former side's season will be over already if they don't win today.

"It’s a must-win for Manchester United; otherwise, people will talk about a crisis in the team," he told Betfair.

"They need to wake up and start playing; otherwise, the season will be over and it will be another one that has passed away without the success that everybody is expecting.

"United need to win and they need to do it with style, but to be honest, any win will do. Prediction: 2-1."

United are suddenly contending with an injury crisis just two games into the season. Mason Mount picked up a hamstring injury
