Manchester United supporters are making it clear that their visit to Nottingham Forest is a must-win match as they aim to qualify for next season's Champions League.
Saturday's results fell in United's favour as Newcastle United were well-beaten by Aston Villa before Tottenham Hotspur lost it late against Bournemouth. Both of their closest top four contenders losing leaves the door wide open for Erik ten Hag's team to reclaim third spot and retake pole position in the top four race.
A win would see three points separate them from Newcastle in fourth, and the points gap over Tottenham would double to six with eight games remaining. Ten Hag also agrees that Sunday afternoon's match is one United have to win.

”They are battling to not get relegated, so we have to be aware of it, and we have to match that," Ten Hag has said ahead of kick-off. "So it's going to be a tough opponent, a tough game, but we have to win, and when we play our best football, we have a good opportunity to win there.”
Adding to the pressure is that Newcastle and Tottenham have already won away against Forest earlier this season. As too have United, albeit in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, something the United manager stresses they can take confidence from.
The club's fans are adamant that this golden opportunity to take advantage of those around them in the table is not one United can afford to squander. Here is a selection of the social media after Saturday's results:
