Storylines

Nottingham Forest:Usually the biggest concern for Cooper facing United would be not having on-loan keeper Dean Henderson available, but with Henderson injured, Wayne Hennessey will deputize. Now, it's another game to get Chris Wood integrated to lead the line. With Morgan Gibbs-White finding form, United will need to be wary about allowing set-play chances as Forest have the creativity and targets to make them pay.
