Manchester United can make it four Premier League wins in a row when they take on Nottingham Forest this afternoon.
United have a relatively clean bill of health heading into today’s game with Mason Mount fit again after missing the win over Brighton.
Harry Maguire remains a doubt, however. After his dramatic winner at against Liverpool at Anfield, the defender missed out last weekend, left out of the squad with a knock.
While it is not thought to be a serious issue, the former skipper could miss out again this afternoon.
United’s only other absentee is Lisandro Martinez. The Argentina international is back in full training after his ACL injury in February and feels he is ready to make his return today.

Amorim however is holding off on his return, insisting on Friday he is not yet available.
The blossoming partnership between Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo down United’s right means Patrick Dorgu may remain on the bench on Saturday with Diogo Dalot shifted over to the left.
Amorim opted to start Matheus Cunha up top against Liverpool to cause havoc against Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk at Anfield.
Against a similarly fearsome duo at the back in Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo, Amorim could be tempted to do the same.
But another impressive performance from Benjamin Sesko at the focal point of United’s attack against Brighton should be enough for him to keep his place in the side.
Victories over Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton have lifted the gloom around Old Trafford with Ruben Amorim’s side reaching the dizzying heights of sixth place as a result of that run.
United are level on points with Manchester City and six behind league leaders Arsenal with nine games played.

Harry Maguire’s availability could prompt a slight reshuffle at the back but Amorim will be very tempted to go with the same starting XI that beat Brighton last time out.
