Andre Onana starts in goal once again while Kobbie Mainoo gets a rest after establishing himself as a regular in recent months. Scott McTominay is recalled to start alongside Casemiro in midfield.

Captain Bruno Fernandes has recovered from a knock to start in the attacking midfield position for Manchester United tonight. Garnacho starts on the wing with Antony recalled on the right flank. Youngster Omari Forson drops to the bench after making his debut at the weekend.

Marcus Rashford leads the line up front once again in the absence of Rasmus Hojlund and Anthony Martial. Christian Eriksen is among the substitutes for Man Utd tonight.

As for Nottingham Forest, Matt Turner starts in goal while Neco Williams lines-up in defence. Danilo marshals the midfield while Anthony Elanga faces-off against his former side.
