Manchester United Preview
After the public conflict that triggered the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United seems to have found tranquility under the leadership of Dutchman Erik Ten Hag, who was questioned at the beginning of his tenure.
Some of the players who took part in the World Cup have already started to recover, although the center-back pairing will not be available for the Premier League return, Frenchman Raphael Varane and Argentine Lisandro Martínez still have a few days of rest after playing in the final.
After two friendly matches with surprisingly negative results (defeats against Cádiz and Betis), they returned to the official activity with a good victory in the EFL Cup against Burnley by 2-0, with goals from Eriksen and Rashford, which gave them the ticket to the quarterfinals of the competition.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): David De Gea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Brandon Williams, Scott McTominay, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Anthony Martial.
Nottingham Forest Preview
An excellent second half gave manager Steve Cooper hope as he saw his side crush Blackburn Rovers 4-1 to qualify for the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup in a match played in the run-up to Christmas. Now, it is time to return to the Premier League, where the challenge is to quickly take a turn at the helm to get out of a situation that is already beginning to be alarming.
With only 13 points, Nottingham Forest is in 18th place out of 20 teams, a dangerous zone as the halfway point of the championship approaches. The positive thing is that they still have confidence in their coach, who at least stopped losing games, with only one defeat in the last five games.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Dean Henderson, Neco Williams, Joe Worrall, Willy Boly, Harry Toffolo, Ryan Yates, Remo Freuler, Orel Mangala, Brennan Johnson, Taiwo Awoniyi, Jesse Lingard.
JefeBet Prediction
Manchester United has the hierarchy and variants in its bench to shine and take down a Nottingham Forest team that seems hesitant in its return to the English top flight. The team led by Erik Ten Hag should win comfortably.
Prediction: Manchester United wins 3-1.
