Ruben Amorim tasted defeat for the first time in the Premier League in midweek, as Man United were beaten by Arsenal.
However, the Portuguese coach would have taken confidence from his side’s defensive display, with the Gunners needing two corners to make their advantage count after struggling to make a breakthrough from open play.
Nottingham Forest will be the visitors to Old Trafford this weekend, with the Tricky Trees looking to put a disappointing 3-0 loss at Man City in the rear-view mirror.
Odds
Man United will be an odds-on price to bounce back to winning ways in the Premier League on Saturday. Nottingham Forest are available at +433.

Man United vs. Nottingham Forest Prediction
United have already looked more defensively structured under Amorim than they did in the final months under Erik ten Hag. However, the attacking players will need to be more clinical when chances are created.
Therefore, while we expect United to win on Saturday, it may only be by a one-goal margin.
