Manchester United v Nottingham Forest LIVE: Team news as Carrick close to permanent deal

Manchester United XI: Lammens; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Cunha; Zirkzee

Nottingham Forest XI: Sels; Cunha, Milenkovic, Morato; Williams, Yates, Anderson, Netz; Hutchinson, Jesus, Wood

Matthijs de Ligt remains sidelined for the hosts having undergone surgery on a back injury, while Benjamin Sesko is a doubt after he missed the Sunderland draw with a shin issue. Casemiro meanwhile is sure to feature in his last-ever game at Old Trafford.

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.

Manchester United host Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Sunday 17 May, with kick-off at 12.30pm BST.

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.

Good morning and welcome to another day of Premier League action.

Manchester United kick things off today as they host Nottingham Forest, needing just a point to seal a third-place finish after a remarkable turnaround in fortunes under Michael Carrick.

Forest meanwhile have confirmed their top-flight survival after a late flurry of fine performances – but they’ll be bruised after crashing out of the Europa League to Midlands rivals Aston Villa.
