How to watch and follow United v Forest
WHAT IS THE TEAM NEWS?
Christian Eriksen could be set to miss this fixture after he was seen leaving Old Trafford on crutches following United’s 3-1 win over Reading on Saturday night (28 January). The extent of his injury is currently unknown.
Scott McTominay, Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw were all unavailable for the weekend’s FA Cup tie – the former two due to injury problems while Shaw was through illness. Elsewhere, Jadon Sancho is continuing to train with the team ahead of his return to the matchday squad, but it remains to be seen whether or not that will be for the second leg of our Forest encounter.
For our visitors, they will be without first-team loanee goalkeeper Dean Henderson who is injured – but regardless of fitness, he would not be permitted to play against us, his parent club. Newcomer Chris Wood is also unavailable for Steve Cooper’s side due to being cup-tied with former club Newcastle.
Taiwo Awoniyi, Morgan Gibbs-White, Cheikhou Kouyate, Moussa Niakhate and Omar Richards are dealing with known injury issues, while Giulian Biancone is out for the season.
