Man United v Nottingham Forest Head-to-Head

Man United v Nottingham Forest – Premier League 2025/26

Manchester United welcome Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford for a fixture that brings together two clubs with huge legacies in English football. Forest's back-to-back European Cup victories in 1979 and 1980 under Brian Clough is a reminder of where the club aspires to be. United, meanwhile, dominated the early Premier League era with sustained success, but have struggled to reflect this in the modern day since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure. This is a fixture between two of English football’s most successful clubs, where both sides aim to re-establish themselves among England's elite.

Fast forward to the Premier League era, and United have often been dominant at Old Trafford. Nottingham Forest's relegation in 1999 ended their regular top-flight encounters, but their return in recent seasons has reignited the rivalry. Now managed by Nuno Espírito Santo, Forest have re-established themselves in the Premier League, securing a European spot for the first time since 1996.

The 2025/26 season renews the rivalry between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest with both clubs aiming for pivotal progress. For United, led by Ruben Amorim, they will be hoping to improve on the club's last campaign. Nottingham Forest, managed by Nuno Espírito Santo, will hope to repeat last year's success. The clash is more than just three points; it’s the meeting of two historic English teams with the backdrop of an equally historic stadium in Old Trafford.
