Manchester United v Nottingham Forest: Premier League – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Join Scott Murray for updates as Erik ten Hag's team return to action against a Forest side in need of points.

A chance for Forest to load the United box. 38 min: Antony has been quiet, compared to Rashford and Martial anyway, but now he pops up to the right of the D and aims a curler towards the top left. 36 min: Wan-Bissaka comes piling into the back of Lingard and is slightly fortunate not to go into the book. A Forest corner leads immediately to a United counter. The ball brushed Boly en route to the goal. United are half of the way to their seventh straight win over Forest. Nothing comes of the set piece, but this is a signal raising of the tempo by the away side. The gap to the top four closes; Forest remain in the relegation places. 75 min: Garnacho dribbles hard down the left and looks for Rashford in the middle. 79 min: Shaw comes ploughing into the back of Yates, 30 yards from the United goal. 89 min: Dennis versus Casemiro again, as the Forest man dribbles down the left. We want to stay in all the leagues we are in.

Follow live as Manchester United and Nottingham Forest return to Premier League action at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are chasing a Champions League spot, ...

The goalkeeper is in fine form, having made a string of super saves to secure a win over Liverpool before the World Cup break. 20 mins to KO: While Varane has perhaps been rushed back into the XI slightly ahead of schedule, after playing in a World Cup final just eight days ago, Lisandro Martinez is still absent from the United squad. 5 mins to KO: Anthony Martial, fresh after five weeks off, has a huge chance to make the starting spot as United's No.9 his own and drive this club back to the Champions League in the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era. The Denmark international plays it along the ground to around the penalty spot, where the the Red Devils' No.10 peels away from his man and cuts the ball back across goal. After Awoniyi breaks down the right at the opposite end of the field and feels he was unfairly tugged back, United immediately break up the other end and take a commanding early lead. 29th min: Rashford looks in the mood, and was just on a surging counter forward before being dragged back by Orel Mangala on halfway, with the Forest midfielder picking up a yellow card. From a free-kick, Yates wheels away in celebration after his header, though the final touch looks to have come off Willy Boly. They seemed to be having a competition as to who could produce the perfect party piece, with audacious efforts from Fernandes and Casemiro the pick of the bunch. 33rd min: After a Ryan Yates potshot from distance troubles David De Gea, United respond via Rashford once more, who finds himself on the right wing again and blasts past Renan Lodi - who enjoyed a memorable night here with Atletico Madrid in March - with ease. It's difficult to believe this is the same player who was in such horrendous form last season, to the point where a transfer away was reportedly the most likely outcome. Substitute Fred was the beneficiary of a lovely ball across the box from Casemiro, who found his compatriot's run at the back post. Willy Boly had the final touch before the ball hit the net, and the centre-back was correctly adjudged to be in an offside position.

"I'm a big believer in looking at the process of the performance. In the end you do have to make the most of those situations at this level.
