MANCHESTER UNITED will be determined to bounce back from their Tottenham tragedy when they face Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
A second-half strike from Pepe Matar Sarr followed by an own goal by Lisandro Martinez saw Spurs beat the Red Devils last weekend.
And this comes off the back of a poor performance at Wolves despite escaping Old Trafford with a 1-0 win.
However, fans could be in for a treat as Erik ten Hag is expected to finally add mega-summer signing Rasmus Hojlund to the fold.
But it won’t be an easy ride for the Danish superstar as he comes up against a Forest side fresh from a Sheffield United triumph.

Kobbie Mainoo (ankle), Amad Diallo (knee), Tom Heaton (knock) and Tyrrell Malacia (muscle) all continue to be sidelined, while Harry Maguire (knock) remains a doubt.
Elsewhere, Forest gaffer Steve Cooper looks set to be without the quartet of Felipe (knock), Ola Aina (groin), Omar Richards (leg) and Wayne Hennessey (knee).
