After missing the opportunity to approach the leader of the English ChampionshipThe Manchester United returns to the lawns this Wednesday, to face Nottingham Forest. For the first leg of the English League Cup semifinals, the teams face each other at 5 pm (Brasília time), at the City Ground, in Nottingham.
Manchester United took on Premier League leaders Arsenal, last Sunday and was defeated by 3 to 2. The defeat ended the sequence of 10 official games without losing for the team commanded by Erik Ten Hag. Now, the next three matches of the Red Devils will be in cup knockouts, as on Saturday they face Reading for the fourth round of the FA Cup. In the sequence, they face Nottingham Forest again in the return duel of the English League Cup.
Erik Ten Hag will continue without being able to count on Dalot, Sancho and Martial, who are injured. On the other hand, the coach will have the return of Casemiro, who was suspended in the last match for having received his fifth yellow card.
Nottingham Forest comes from a 1-1 draw in the Premier League against Bournemouth. The team of Brazilians Gustavo Scarpa, Danilo and Renan Lodi has four games without losing in the competition. His last defeat was precisely against Manchester United, about a month ago, when he lost 3-0 at Old Trafford.
Despite the bad start to the season, the home team recovered and occupy 13th place in the Premier League, with 21 points, four more than Wolverhampton, which opens the relegation zone.
