Erik ten Hag tells Man Utd what to expect from Nottingham Forest

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has told his side what to expect from their clash with Nottingham Forest, saying the Reds are "in survival mode".

Forest will be looking to pick up their first win since beating Leeds 1-0 at the beginning of February. Steve Cooper's side currently sit in the Premier League bottom three on goal difference behind Everton.

One factor which may play into Forest's hands on Sunday is their solid home form with the Reds losing just four games at home in the league all season. Newcastle were the last team to beat the Reds at the City Ground in a 2-1 defeat back in March.

Sunday's opponents are also contending with a lengthy injury list with as many as eight players being doubts for Sunday's game. And Ten Hag has highlighted what his side need to be wary of when they face Forest this weekend.

"We know what we can expect," he said. "They are in survival mode.

"They will run for their lives so we have to be ready for that game."

Sunday will be the fourth time Forest have played United this season after the Reds lost 3-0 in the reverse league fixture before being beaten in both legs of the Carabao Cup semi-final without scoring.
