Three pundits agree on Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest score prediction

Manchester United are back in action on Saturday against Nottingham Forest as they search for back-to-back Old Trafford wins.

Erik ten Hag needs a performance from his United team after their poor showing against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. They will have to do without Mason Mount and Luke Shaw who are both missing with muscle injuries.

Rasmus Hojlund is not ready either but he is in contention to play at Arsenal next weekend. Diogo Dalot and Christian Eriksen are likely to come into the team.

While United haven't made the greatest of starts with their performances so far, they are still heavy favourites to beat a Forest team that don't travel well. Steve Cooper's side collected most of their points at the City Ground last year.

So, how do the pundits think United will get on? MEN Sport rounds up their predictions.

Manchester United have been really flat and lacking a spark but Nottingham Forest's record away from home last season was not good and their main man, Brennan Johnson, has been linked with a move to Spurs. It has to click eventually for Manchester United - they had a bad start last season and they did beat Wolves, so I think they'll win this one.

Prediction: Manchester United 3-1 Nottingham Forest

I'd be a bit worried about everyone at Manchester United at the moment, given the way they've started the season. They're all playing for a massive football club, and everything will be analysed.

It's all right to play flair players like Mount and Fernandes
