MANCHESTER UNITED take on Nottingham Forest today in the Premier League – and they’ll want to capitalise on Tottenham and Newcastle’s Saturday slip-ups.
United are aiming to finish in the top four this season and a win today would go a long way in determining their fate.
But without Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford, a win at the City Ground could be a tall order.

What is the team news?
Steve Cooper’s side have been struck with a number of injuries with Cheikhou Kouyate (hamstring) and Moussa Niakhate (hamstring) the two latest members to join the lengthy list.
Omar Richards (calf), Renan Lodi (knock), Giulian Biancoma (knee), Gustavo Scarpa (knee), Ryan Yates (shoulder) and Serge Aurier (knock) are all expected to be out.
And they’ll be joined by Chris Wood, Willy Boly and Dean Henderson who have thigh injuries.
However, Erik ten Hag has some major squad issues himself as Marcus Rashford (groin), Donny van de Beek (knee), Luke Shaw (thigh), Tom Heaton (ankle) and Alejandro Garnacho (ankle) are expected to sit this one out.
But to make matters worse, the United boss lost his centre-back pairing Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez in the Sevilla – Martinez is out for the rest of the season with a fractured metatarsal in his foot.
