Erik ten Hag will be looking for a major improvement from his United side as they host Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.
United's fortunate win over Wolves turned out to be more than just a blip after they were soundly beaten by Tottenham. It was a rough day for Ten Hag's men at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with a Lisandro Martinez own goal topping off a woeful day for United on the road, with many questions raised about the functionality of midfield trio Casemiro, Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes.
United's troubles have been compounded with the news that summer signing Mount will be out until the international break after he was forced off late in the Spurs clash. However, this could open up a place for Christian Eriksen.
It's been no secret that United's midfield has struggled so far this season, with Mount still taking time to settle since his big-money switch from Chelsea. With the England international adding to United's injury list, Ten Hag could now be tempted to dip back into the market.
