United take on Forest on Sunday
Manchester United take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
United reacted well to the defeat to Newcastle by winning consecutively against Brentford and Everton, but the midweek draw against Sevilla was disappointing.
The result became even worse when Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez were injured. It's important for United to come back up against Forest, although it won't be a simple game, as Steve Cooper's side fight for survival. Regarding team information, Marcus Rashford is absent, Varane and Martinez are also absent. However, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay could return after a short time out.
Our writers had opinions on how United should line up against Forest...
Samuel Luckhurst
If Luke Shaw is fit, he should start. Tyrell Malacia was present in two consecutive games where United made almost every attack and he was a liability in defence. The top six should stay the same. Sabitzer and Fernandes are in top form, Antony is improving game by game and Martial had a brilliant hour against Sevilla.

Injuries will play a major role in Ten Hag's squad selection at the City Ground and he'll need some good news on that front. Having Shaw back and ready to start would be ideal after Malacia's nightmare against Sevilla, especially when the defense is stretched. Maguire and Lindelof will start in a four-way comeback. Midfielder is selected. After 4 weeks of suspension, Casemiro is ready to play in consecutive matches. Fernandes could continue in this deep role and Sabitzer is currently finding impressive form in this more senior role.
Martial could take the lead, even though he has 90 minutes to play, with Antony and Sancho on the flanks. As the Ten Hag replacements show up midweek, there are very few top-three picks at the moment. Steven Railston
Thursday's canceled match was exacerbated by the injuries to Varane and Martinez.
The pair of Maguire and Lindelof are symbols of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign, but they must keep their promises. Shaw is expected to return to the starting line-up on Sunday and he will start if he is fit as Malacia has certainly lost to Sevilla.
The top three are picking at the moment, despite concerns about the fitness of injury-prone Martial.
