Predicted Man United XI vs Nottingham Forest in huge day for Casemiro

After Liverpool’s defeat to Aston Villa, only an absurd goal difference swing would see Manchester United not finish in third place. A point versus Nottingham Forest would 100% seal the job.

Michael Carrick also seems to be on the verge of being appointed as the new manager permanently, so he will need to weigh up whether he wants to give some squad players a chance or try to finish the home season on a high.

Defence

Carrick will choose Senne Lammens in goal and Diogo Dalot will most likely return to right back.

The centre-back pairing is up in the air as Lisandro Martinez is back from suspension, so he may take his place in the starting line-up ahead of the in-form Ayden Heaven.

Harry Maguire will likely play in the other centre-back position, and will continue to play at left back to inch closer to playing in every Premier League match this season.
