Decent side, although perhaps would have started Hojlund given his recent form.

We do have City on Sunday and then Europa next week so probably a good bit of rotation there.The bench looking much stronger compared to the Leicester game before the international breakZirkzee hasn’t played up front for a while. Be interesting to see how he does.Need a lot of intensity in this game to ensure Forest feel the effect of their cup fame on Sunday. If we are up for this we should win it.
As probably every other United fan over the past 10 years, I've developed my own set of football superstitions. If I wear my Mainoo jersey, it's almost guaranteed that we're going to go behind but then pull off a really exciting, miraculous turn around.
If I view the line ups on Twitter before the game, we're pretty much screwed and so on.
This is the latest attempt at validating my superstitions. I don't think predictions about the game do anything to the game itself.The will be the game where it all crumbles for them. United will win this 3-1Their counter attacking style is something we struggle with so a draw would be a decent result, would be nice to finally win two in a row in the league but not convinced it will happen tonight.Feels like it's been months since United played a game. I have no idea what to expect.After an encouraging period begore the international break, i expect to be firmly put back in pessimism land after tonight.Football is back. Let's go!!
Mount to score and bring in the good vibes.
Love your optimism
Had a good day today. Solved a few headaches. Nice break away with the missus after tomorrow
Firmly expecting United to piss in my face tonight
We will sit in a mid block and counter attack Wolves instead. The Ugarte x Casemiro pivot suggests that. It's going to be a snoozefest unless someone gets an early goal (hopefully us). I'd back whoever gets the first goal to win it.
That’s an interesting tactic Cotton
3d chess mate. We wouldn't understandAs always I’m really looking forward to the game. I will never learn probably, been disappointed so many times this season.
Some people are into that kind of thing though.Come on you facckinn redsThe squad is looking a lot better than before thr International break, with more yet to return. I'm surprised to not see Hojlund start, but maybe there's some issue we're not aware or maybe it's some rotation ahead of some other big games coming up.
Tough game tonight regardless. Forest are obviously a good side but not sure they're a big enough side for our players to really turn up and give them a game. I hope I'm wrong, but I'd expect a better performance against City at the weekend than today.
Sir Jim will be hoping the fans will pay for that kind of thing
Sounds like you’re already there!Who's going to be the threat in the penalty area? Zirkzee doesn't like occupying CBs
OnanaOne thing I don't like I've never seen Zirkzee play well as a striker. He only plays well in the 10Didn’t nuno use to play a back 3 system? He’s now changed so it shows managers can adapt.Kick-offCome on guys!! Let's go get it!!Yay, we're back!
I asked Dalot to piss in my face. He unzipped, whipped it out…..and missed by 4 feet, hitting the bedside lamp and sparking a small electrical fireThat must be the worst pre match song ever just sounds like 30,000 fans shouting at each otherReady for the mess..
Never asking you for a streamInteresting choice by Amorim to pair Casemiro and Ugarte as the pivot. Clearly, he wants extra protection against a dangerous Forest side. But that comes at a cost: we lose Bruno in deeper areas, where his ability to dictate play and pick out forward passes is crucial. It also forces Zirkzee into a No. 9 role, which disrupts what looked like a promising front three with Garnacho and Hojlund.This is confusing, why are they playing in our kit?The blue away kit may be the best thing about this otherwise miserable season, pending how things go in the EL.
Back from the break!Lets goooooo!!!!!Bruno in that left side AM position doesn't fill me with confidence.
He never looks overly comfortable there.come on garnacho that was horrendous manNice effort Bruno- Status
