Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man United: Festive clash underway

talksport.com, 30 December 2023, 17:49
Manchester United will be aiming to end 2023 on a high as they look to build on a comeback win against Aston Villa this afternoon.

The Red Devils travel to The City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest following their dramatic turnaround on Boxing Day.

That 3-2 victory should give Erik ten Hag's side a much-needed boost heading into their final game of the year in the East Midlands.

Nuno Espirito Santo is also coming into this game on a high, and his team will be out to prove a 3-1 away win at Newcastle wasn't just a one-off.

Premier League clash at the City Ground to kick-off at 5:30pm

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man United - HALF TIME

The referee mercifully brings that 45 minutes to a close.

The hosts have been the better team, but that isn't saying much and things need to improve in the second half.

The closest we've come to a goal is via Varane's thigh, but the ball looped past the far post.

Meanwhile, the visitors have had one shot and not got Rashford involved at all.

Sir Dave Brailsford and Sir Alex Ferguson are in attendance.
