Man United vs Nottingham Forest

Follow live as Manchester United and Nottingham Forest return to Premier League action at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are chasing a Champions League spot, ...

The goalkeeper is in fine form, having made a string of super saves to secure a win over Liverpool before the World Cup break. 20 mins to KO: While Varane has perhaps been rushed back into the XI slightly ahead of schedule, after playing in a World Cup final just eight days ago, Lisandro Martinez is still absent from the United squad. 5 mins to KO: Anthony Martial, fresh after five weeks off, has a huge chance to make the starting spot as United's No.9 his own and drive this club back to the Champions League in the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era. The Denmark international plays it along the ground to around the penalty spot, where the the Red Devils' No.10 peels away from his man and cuts the ball back across goal. After Awoniyi breaks down the right at the opposite end of the field and feels he was unfairly tugged back, United immediately break up the other end and take a commanding early lead. 29th min: Rashford looks in the mood, and was just on a surging counter forward before being dragged back by Orel Mangala on halfway, with the Forest midfielder picking up a yellow card. From a free-kick, Yates wheels away in celebration after his header, though the final touch looks to have come off Willy Boly. They seemed to be having a competition as to who could produce the perfect party piece, with audacious efforts from Fernandes and Casemiro the pick of the bunch. 33rd min: After a Ryan Yates potshot from distance troubles David De Gea, United respond via Rashford once more, who finds himself on the right wing again and blasts past Renan Lodi - who enjoyed a memorable night here with Atletico Madrid in March - with ease. It's difficult to believe this is the same player who was in such horrendous form last season, to the point where a transfer away was reportedly the most likely outcome. A Brazilian connection makes it 3-0 to United, as Casemiro takes out two defenders with his pass which nicely tees up Fred at the back post, who makes no mistake by cutting across goal with his left boot. Willy Boly had the final touch before the ball hit the net, and the centre-back was correctly adjudged to be in an offside position.
