Manchester United brought 2023 to a close with an uninspiring 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground last weekend.
Four days after staging a brilliant Boxing Day comeback against Aston Villa, United came crashing back down to earth with a bump on the banks of the Trent. The Reds have now won just one of their last five Premier League outings.
As a result of their underwhelming run of form United are now eighth in the table, nine points shy of the top four after Brighton & Hove Albion drew 0-0 with West Ham United on Tuesday. United will not have the chance to start climbing back up the table until January 14, with the FA Cup third round taking centre stage this coming weekend.

The Reds' next league outing is at home to Tottenham Hotspur. With the Premier League taking a temporary pause, MEN Sport has taken a quick glance at United's next six assignments in the league and compared them with those of their nearest rivals.
Verdict: Predicting how many points United will amass from their next six games is impossible, such is their level of unpredictability. As soon as you think they have turned a corner all too familiar failings creep back in.
It goes without saying that the clashes with Spurs, West Ham and Aston Villa are the most difficult-looking assignments on paper but the trips to Molineux and Kenilworth Road to face Wolves and Luton Town respectively will not be easy. Wolves are rapidly improving under Gary O'Neil and the Hatters have not given anyone an easy ride on their own patch.
