Man United will face tough battles after the International Break. First, they will face Nottingham Forest, then Man City, and after that Lyon. Looking at their current condition and opportunities, Ruben Amorim should prioritize the Europa League, which means the match against Lyon will be their main focus. For that reason, I doubt that Man United will be able to do much in the match against Nottingham Forest. So instead of playing all out, they will likely be leaning towards playing defensive football. I think Man United will be aiming for a draw in this match.
If they can finish the match in a draw, it would be better for them because I don’t see them standing a chance to win again Nottingham Forest after seeing their performance this season and how consistent they are playing in the competition from the start of the season. Even if Manchester United don’t have an Europa League match they will focus on very much this season, base on how they’re performing now, they don’t stand a chance to prevail against Nottingham Forest this season. Fighting for a draw and getting it will be a big win to them and they will as well fell happy they did not give out three points like that.
There match against Manchester City before playing with Lyon could be one they can go for a win for. Manchester City performance is not consistent and I don’t know how well they could play in this match even if they’re already eliminated from the champions league and only have the premier to focus on now. For this match, It could be a mix feeling outcome, but they both stand a chance to win the match. The best team will triumph in the end I believe both of them will out in their best effort to triumph.
