Man Utd vs Nottingham Forest preview
Manchester United and Nottingham Forest meet in today’s early kick-off with very little riding on the result for either side.
The Red Devils have already secured Champions League football for next season and cannot finish any higher than third even if they win their final two matches.
Still, interim boss Michael Carrick will be desperate to finish the campaign strongly amid growing reports he is close to landing the job permanently.
Carrick has certainly made a strong case since taking charge in January. The former midfielder has won 10 of his 15 matches at the helm, collecting 33 points at an impressive average of 2.20 points per game.
United have been especially strong at Old Trafford under Carrick, winning eight of their last nine home matches, including statement victories over Manchester City, Aston Villa and Liverpool.
That should create a lively atmosphere for United’s final home game of the season, although Forest are more than capable of spoiling the party. The visitors have won three of the last five meetings between the sides, including a 3-2 victory at Old Trafford last season.
As for Forest, their Premier League survival was confirmed last weekend following West Ham’s defeat to Arsenal.
Vitor Pereira arrived on February 15 with Forest sitting 18th and staring relegation in the face.
Now, the Tricky Trees have lost just one of their last 12 matches in all competitions and can head to Manchester with their Premier League status already secure.

Man Utd vs Nottingham Forest tips and betting predictions
Tip 1: Man Utd to score 3+ goals
We’re backing Manchester United to score 3+ team goals against Nottingham Forest today, available at 7/4 with Betfair.
As mentioned, it is party time at Old Trafford. United have already secured Champions League football and cannot finish any higher or lower than third following an excellent run under Michael Carrick in 2026.
The Red Devils have looked especially dangerous at home too. They have won eight of their last nine matches at Old Trafford, scoring 3+ goals on three occasions during that run and at least twice in all but one game.
That could spell trouble for a Nottingham Forest side who have already secured Premier League survival and may be running on tired legs after a hectic spell of five games in 17 days.
Bet: Manchester United to score over 2.5 goals at 7/4 with Betfair
First goalscorer and correct score prediction
Man Utd vs Nottingham Forest
First goalscorer: Matheus Cunha at 11/2 with Sky Bet
Correct score: 3-1 at 10/1 with SBK
Tip 2: Bruno Fernandes assist
Given we expect Manchester United to score a few goals today, it is hard to look beyond Bruno Fernandes registering at least one assist – and Sky Bet are offering 6/5 on the United captain to do exactly that.
The Portuguese playmaker, 31, is now just one Premier League assist away from matching the single-season record jointly held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
Fernandes has racked up 19 league assists this season, with 11 of those coming since Michael Carrick took charge at Old Trafford.
Bet: Bruno Fernandes to assist at 6/5 with Sky Bet
