Red Devils missing Danish striker after late illness blow
Alex Young @alexwsyoung30 December 2023

Manchester United have lost striker Rasmus Hojlund for tonight's game with Nottingham Forest due to illness.

The Dane had only scored his first Premier League goal on Boxing Day but sits the trip to City Ground out along with Luke Shaw. The left-back missed the dramatic win over Aston Villa with a muscle injury.

Sofyan Amrabat was also a doubt with a muscle injury, while Anthony Martial has been sidelined with illness. Scott McTominay is expected to return in midfield at Forest with Christian Eriksen and Kobbie Mainoo both struggling at times against Villa.

Two-goal hero Alejandro Garnacho will keep his place, and Marcus Rashford produced a much-improved display on the opposite flank last time out.

The England striker will move into a central position with Hojlund out as Amad Diallo features on the bench.

Man Utd XI: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Evans, Dalot; Mainoo, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Rashford

Subs: Bayindir, Kambwala, Reguilon, Amad, Gore, Hannibal, McTominay, Pellistri, Van de Beek
