Nuno Espirito Santo expects tough battle against 'quality' Man Utd

Ahead of Tuesday night's Premier League showdown between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, manager Nuno Espirito Santo has insisted that United remain a formidable opponent.

Nottingham Forest are enjoying an impressive campaign, sitting third in the Premier League and having recently secured a place in the FA Cup semi-finals.

However, they are facing injury concerns, which could see some key players unavailable for the match against the Red Devils. Despite this, Nuno has remained confident in his team's ability to continue their strong form.

For Manchester United, this match is crucial as they look to build on recent improvements in their performances, particularly against top clubs such as Arsenal, Real Sociedad, and Leicester City.

After being knocked out of the FA Cup by Fulham on penalties, United's only remaining chance of silverware is in the Europa League, which also offers a potential route back to the Champions League.

"Tomorrow [Tuesday] is going to be tough, Man United are a good team, good players, good coach," Nuno said. "But you are at home, so we are confident.

"The quality of the players, the quality of the squad.

"You can see the quality of Man United players all over the pitch, they have options and good options and solutions."
