Following an impressive campaign that saw Erik ten Hag earn plaudits from all quarters, Man Utd have yet to click into gear this season. They were fortunate to gain a 1-0 win over Wolves on the opening weekend and were then outplayed in the 2-0 defeat away to Tottenham. With summer signing Rasmus Højlund still injured, United have looked blunt in attack and their midfield has been overrun in both games.  

These issues will need to be addressed quickly and there will be changes in midfield for the visit of Forest as Mason Mount will miss the next two games through injury. This could provide an opportunity for Christian Eriksen to come back into the team, while in attack youngster Alejandro Garnacho has struggled to make an impact and could be replaced by Jadon Sancho. 

The home side will need to deliver a much-improved performance against Forest who fought hard in the 2-1 defeat to Arsenal and created plenty of opportunities in the 2-1 win over Sheffield Utd. Striker Taiwo Awoniyi is in the form of his life and has now scored in six consecutive league games, while Brennan Johnson provides a constant threat on the counter-attack. Summer signing Anthony Elanga will also be desperate to impress having been deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford this summer. 

The two sides met on four occasions last season and they were all one-sided affairs with United winning the league games 3-0 at home and 2-0 away, as well as securing a 5-0 aggregate victory in the Carabao Cup semi-final. Ten Hag will hope his side can rediscover this form on Saturday, while Forest boss Steve Cooper will believe his side have the quality to expose United’s defensive frailties. 

It should be a fascinating encounter so you won’t want to miss a Man Utd vs Nottm Forest live stream. All the details you need to watch from anywhere are down below. Plus, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.  

How to watch the Man Utd vs Nottm Forest live stream wherever you are

The Man Utd vs Nottm Forest live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock or another service and watch the game.
