Overview
- At his pre‑match press conference, Sean Dyche said he has “maximum respect for all managers” and blamed “clickbait” for inflating his earlier critique of Ruben Amorim.
- He maintained that United have adapted by playing forward quicker, going longer, and resetting shape more tightly, crediting those changes for recent results.
- Ruben Amorim accepted that pundits use strong opinions, defended his long‑term approach, and joked that a 4‑4‑2 might also have produced more wins.
- Manchester United travel to the City Ground with improved form, reported as sixth in the league with four wins in their last five and three consecutive victories.
- Dyche, appointed on October 21, has overseen a win over Porto and a loss at Bournemouth, with Forest third bottom and missing Chris Wood, Ola Aina, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Dilane Bakwa and Angus Gunn.
