Festive Forest test for United
Old Trafford was starting to become a real fortress for Manchester United before the World Cup and they should be able to overpower Nottingham Forest in their first league outing since the international tournament ended on Tuesday.
Forest picked up seven points in their final four games before the league took a break to give their survival chances a huge boost, but their away form remains poor and they are likely to struggle in Manchester.
United can win with room to spare
Unsurprisingly, United are the heavy favourites to win this game so for a bit more value backing the hosts with a -1 handicap looks a good option in this fixture.
Erik ten Hag’s men have won their last four home games and three of those victories came by two or more goals, while they have beaten a -1 handicap in four of their seven home victories across all competitions.
Forest’s are yet to win on their travels in the league and they have scored just one goal in seven attempts, conceding 19 in the process, so the hosts should be able to win with room to spare.
United can win in style
Forest lost 5-0 at Arsenal in their last away game and have been hit for six at Manchester City this term, as well as falling to a 4-0 defeat at Leicester.
United haven’t necessarily been in free-scoring form this term but they did score nine goals in their final three games before the break and an early goal on Tuesday may open this clash up, so a 4-0 win for the Manchester outfit has some appeal in the correct score market.
Marcus Rashford managed three goals in six games prior to the World Cup and then had a decent tournament with England, hitting three goals in five games despite starting just once, so he looks a good contender for a goal against Forest.
