Is Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League clash

Michael Carrick says egos can be important at Manchester United (Martin Rickett/PA) - (PA Wire)

Manchester United host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, with the hosts requiring just one point to seal a third-place finish in the top flight and complete a remarkable turnaround under Michael Carrick.

Carrick’s impressive spell in interim charge is set to be turned into a permanent one, with a new deal imminent - and possibly arriving as soon as today’s match.

The Red Devils were held to a goalless draw at Sunderland last time out but will expect to be back to their usual form at Old Trafford, while Nottingham Forest - who have completed a brilliant reversal of fortunes of their own in the second half of this season - drew 1-1 with Newcastle.

Vitor Pereira’s side has already secured their own top-flight survival but have a point to prove after a 4-0 shellacking in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Aston Villa, and will be desperate to get back to winning ways - and they have form at Old Trafford, winning 3-2 in this same fixture last season.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Forest are without a host of key players including Murillo and Ola Aina, although Dan Ndoye could make a return to the squad and Morgan Gibbs-White, who is still wearing a protective mask after needing stitches following their win over Chelsea, could also feature.
