Erik ten Hag might change Manchester United’s team for the game against Nottingham Forest this weekend. The team has not performed well in their previous Premier League matches, narrowly winning against Wolverhampton Wanderers and losing to Tottenham Hotspur last week. United’s midfield has been criticized by Gary Neville and Roy Keane, who questioned the performance of Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, and Mason Mount. However, Mount won’t play this weekend due to an injury from the Spurs match. The options for changes are limited, but Scott McTominay or Christian Eriksen could replace Mount. The attacking players like Antony, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnahco have also disappointed in the early matches. Ten Hag is unlikely to keep the same lineup, and Jadon Sancho and Facundo Pellistri have been substituted in both games. Changes in defense are not anticipated, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka might be replaced by Diogo Dalot for a more attacking option. Overall, United could make two changes from the previous lineup.
Goalkeeper: Andre Onana
Andre Onana made a clean sheet debut against Wolves and aims for another shutout against Forest.
Right Back: Aaron Wan-Bissaka
After being substituted in the second half against Spurs, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to return to the lineup on Saturday.
Centre Back: Raphael Varane
Despite a slow start for the team, Raphael Varane has stood out as one of United’s top performers.
Centre Back: Lisandro Martinez
Lisandro Martinez struggled against Wolves and faced criticism for his role in Tottenham’s goals last weekend.
Left Back: Luke Shaw
Luke Shaw’s attacking contributions have been limited in the first two matches.
Central Midfield: Casemiro
Casemiro has faced challenges this season and has not displayed his usual dominance.
Central Midfield: Christian Eriksen
Expected to replace the injured Mount, Christian Eriksen’s strong performance against Forest last season could be a positive factor.
Right Wing: Antony
Despite a lackluster start this season, Antony is likely to start on the right wing.
Attacking Midfield: Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes has shown glimpses of his talent in the opening matches, but his positioning has raised concerns. Mount’s absence might bring out the best in him.
Left Wing: Jadon Sancho
Jadon Sancho comes in for the out-of-form Garnacho as the second change from last week’s lineup.
Striker: Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford, criticized by Keane after the previous match, aims to perform better in the central striker role against Forest.
