Man Utd v Nottingham Forest LIVE: Latest score and goal updates
Ruben Amorim is advising Manchester United to temper their expectations as they prepare for the match against Nottingham Forest.
Manchester United will welcome Nottingham Forest tonight as they aim to recover from their first loss under coach Ruben Amorim.
Following a strong beginning with their new Portuguese manager, United faced their first significant challenge when set-piece experts Arsenal overpowered them with a 2-0 victory in a midweek Premier League match.
This led Amorim to suggest that the Red Devils need to "keep their expectations in check," as they currently find themselves in the lower half of the standings—specifically, they were six positions behind their rivals at the beginning of the weekend.
Forest had an unexpectedly strong start to the season, even competing in the top four just last month. However, their pursuit of a European spot has been hindered by a tough stretch of matches that led to three losses in four games. A win at Old Trafford could help them recover and get back on course.
