Manchester United return from the international break tonight, taking on Nottingham Forest at The City Ground in the next fixture in the Premier League.
United currently sit in 13th place, with The Tricky Trees sat in third, trying to hold on for Champions League football next year.
However, The Red Devils have a hard fight ahead as the reverse fixture ended with a 3-2 win for Forest back in December, despite goals from Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes.
Now, the fixture could be made increasingly harder with three of the men Amorim fielded for their home leg now out injured, with another three unable to replace them.

Manchester United’s missing men
Unfortunately for Amorim, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo are unavailable for the game, with Martinez and Diallo suffering a ligament tear and damage respectively.
Whilst Martinez is out for the rest of the season, Diallo is hopeful to return before United’s last game of the campaign, with Mainoo already close to being back in the squad.
However, The Athletic has confirmed that alongside them are defenders Ayden Heaven, Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw.
The trio are reportedly recovering, with Heaven’s injury described as “not so serious” after being stretchered off against Leicester City and Evans recovering from a back issue.
As for Shaw, the left-back has missed most of the last two seasons through various injuries, having only made three appearances so far this campaign.
Alongside the six set to miss that match is young striker Chido Obi, however he won’t be missing through injury, rather through other fixtures, having played in the Under-18s FA Youth Cup semi-final last night.
The United youth squad were unfortunately knocked out in penalties by Aston Villa after the clubs were locked at 1-1 at the end of extra-time.
However it’s not all bad for Amorim, as Forest also have two key injuries, including two of the three goalscorers from Forest’s win at Old Trafford.

Nottingham Forest could be without two key stars
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo is set to be without striker Chris Wood and attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White.
Wood returned from international duty with New Zealand having suffered a contusion in his hip in their World Cup 2026 qualifier against New Caledonia and as a result missed Forest’s FA Cup quarter-final with Brighton this weekend.
As for Gibbs-White, the 25-year-old played in Forest’s FA Cup win over Brighton, however picked up a knock after colliding with the post and us such is in question for tonight.
