The 17th round of the Premier League continues tonight (Tuesday), whenManchester United host Nottingham Forest. In the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era, the Red Devils want to continue their quest to try to get back to the leading spot for the Champions League next season. Erik ten Hag was forced to improvise at the back due to the absence of Diego Dalot, Lisandro Martins and Harry Maguire on the bench, so Luke Shaw was placed as a stopper alongside Rafael and Ran. Prodigy Alejandro Granacho has made his place in the 11 in favor of Brazilian Anthony, who joins Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Martial. On the other hand, Serge Aurier and Morgan Gibbs-White are not fit, the former Jesse Lingard will try to surprise. The last meeting between United and the guest was in 1999 and ended in a historic victory 1:8 for the team from Manchester. Even before the opening whistle, hundreds of fans Manchester United demonstrated outside the stadium against the Glazer family, the team’s owners.
