Manchester United have won six of their seven Premier League home games against Nottingham Forest, with the exception being a 2-1 loss in December 1994.
Following their 2-1 victory in December 2023, Nottingham Forest are looking to win consecutive league games against Manchester United for the first time since April 1992.
Manchester United have scored in all 14 of their Premier League games against Nottingham Forest, their joint-best 100% scoring record against an opponent in the competition along with Swansea City.
Manchester United have won 3-0 against Leicester and 4-0 against Everton in their last two Premier League home games. They’ve not scored 3+ in three consecutive home league games since February 2021, while they last did so while winning each time in December 2018.
Nottingham Forest’s last two Premier League away games have been 3-0 defeats (vs Arsenal and Man City), having won five of seven on the road before this (D2). They last lost three consecutive away league games by a margin of 3+ goals in April 1968, one of which was a 3-0 loss at Manchester United.
Manchester United have won their last four home matches in all competitions, scoring at least twice in each match (12 goals). Ruben Amorim has won both of his home games in charge so far – only five managers have won their first three at home with the Red Devils, most recently Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2018-19.
Ruben Amorim suffered his first defeat as Manchester United manager at Arsenal last time out – the Portuguese has only lost consecutive top-flight matches once in his career, doing so in August 2022 with Sporting CP.
Nuno Espírito Santo is bidding to become just the second Nottingham Forest manager to win both of his first two league games against Manchester United after Fred Earp in the 1909-10 campaign.
Marcus Rashford scored twice in Man Utd’s 4-0 win against Everton in their last home league game, as many goals as he’d netted in his previous 23 appearances at Old Trafford. His second strike against the Toffees was his 50th home goal in the Premier League.
In all competitions, Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 11 goals in his last 10 appearances at Old Trafford for Man Utd (4 goals, 7 assists), having a hand in six goals in his last four in the Premier League (2 goals, 4 assists). He’s never scored or assisted in five in a row in the league at Old Trafford, while Marcus Rashford was the last Man Utd player to do so overall (seven in 2022-23).
