DEAL DONE:Nuno Espirito Santo announced Terminating his Contract By the End of Season due to….

Nottingham Forest could be without their top goalscorer when they take on Manchester United.

The Premier League is back following the March international break and Ruben Amorim hopes to continue building momentum with back-to-back league wins.

Last time out, Manchester United beat Leicester City 3-0 just three days after securing a place in the Europa League quarter-finals.

However, Manchester United have no games this weekend because they’ve already been eliminated from the FA Cup, meaning fans will have to wait until Tuesday night to see the lads back in action.

The Reds reached the FA Cup fifth round after wins over Arsenal and Leicester City in the earlier rounds, but lost to Fulham on penalties at the beginning of March.

United’s next opponents won’t have the weekend off as Forest face Brighton in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday.

Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo will hope to avoid more injury blows before facing United because he will want to build on their impressive campaign with a strong finish. They are currently third in the Premier League ahead of Chelsea and Manchester City.

Nuno Espirito Santo gives update on Chris Wood injury

Nottingham Forest were dealt a blow on Monday when top scorer Chris Wood was forced off in New Zealand’s 2026 World Cup qualifying win over New Caledonia.

Wood immediately became doubtful for the game against United next Tuesday, which will be music to Amorim’s ears since the Forest striker has bagged 18 goals in the Premier League so far this season.

Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed that the 33-year-old will miss Forest’s FA Cup clash against Brighton, casting doubt over his availability to face United.

“He went for a scan today and we are still waiting for the result,” Nuno said in his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
