Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United make the trip to the City Ground this week for the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final clash against Nottingham Forest.
The Red Devils would be searching for a return to winning ways after their 10-game unbeaten streak was brought to an end with a 3-2 defeat to league table toppers Arsenal over the weekend.
Let us now take a look at how Erik ten Hag might set up his United side for the upcoming game –

4-3-3
David de Gea is all but certain to retain his starting berth on the team sheet to feature between the goalposts as the Spaniard will look to ensure a clean sheet for his side away at Forest.
In the backline, World Cup winner Lisandro Martinez could give way for the skipper Harry Maguire to pair up with Raphael Varane in the heart of the United defence.
United’s midfield department would be bolstered by the availability of Casemiro who was suspended for the Arsenal clash as he will likely join Bruno Fernandes and Fred in the engine room.
Weghorst is expected to operate in the central striking role for his new side while Marcus Rashford and Antony slot in the wide roles up front.
