Man United v Nottingham Forest tickets | Premier League | Old Trafford
Manchester United host Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford in a Premier League clash between two clubs with proud histories. United under Michael Carrick have re-established themselves among the European places, while Forest under Vítor Pereira look to build on securing their top-flight status. This fixture carries the weight of history between two European Cup winners, with Forest having completed a memorable double over United in a recent season — their first since the Brian Clough era.
Old Trafford
Old Trafford, the Theatre of Dreams, holds 74,310 supporters and remains one of football's most iconic venues. United have made this stadium a fortress again under Michael Carrick, with the home faithful providing a formidable atmosphere. The ground will be packed as United look to assert themselves against a Forest side that has caused them problems in recent seasons.
Head-to-Head Record
Manchester United and Nottingham Forest have met more than 110 times across all competitions, with United holding a clear advantage overall. The rivalry dates back to October 1892 when Newton Heath drew 1-1 with Forest. United's most famous victory remains the 8-1 demolition at the City Ground in February 1999, with Ole Gunnar Solskjær scoring four goals in what remains Forest's heaviest-ever defeat.
A Memorable Recent Meeting
Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 with Manchester United at the City Ground in a dramatic recent encounter. Casemiro headed United in front from a corner, but Forest turned the match around with quickfire goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Nicolò Savona. Amad Diallo rescued a point for United with a stunning volley, and almost snatched victory when his late strike was cleared off the line by Murillo.
Manchester United
Manchester United's fortunes were transformed following Michael Carrick's appointment in January 2026 after Ruben Amorim's departure. A remarkable run of form carried United to a third-place finish in the Premier League and a return to the Champions League, and Carrick was rewarded with the role on a permanent basis with a contract running to 2028. Benjamin Sesko has provided important goals, and the renewed confidence throughout the squad - with captain Bruno Fernandes named FWA Footballer of the Year - has made United genuine competitors at the top end of the table once more.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest endured a turbulent 2025-26 campaign that saw Vítor Pereira become their fourth manager of the season following his appointment in February 2026. The Portuguese coach steadied the ship and guided Forest to safety, preserving their Premier League status, and remains in charge. Forest have repeatedly shown they can produce results against the big clubs, as evidenced by their double over United in a recent season and competitive displays against the division's strongest sides.
