"He (Martinez) wants to go to this one [Forest], he isn't going to this one, Amorim told reporters ahead of the game at the City Ground. He's going to need time. He has started training with us. Slowly he is going to get better. Maguire, however, may be in contention to start as one of the three central defenders to help combat Tottenham's set-piece strengths as well as posing a threat of his own in the opposition box."
"The 32-year-old missed the win over Brighton but was an unused substitute in the draw with Forest. Harry Maguire scored Manchester United's winner against Liverpool last month Manchester United via Getty Imag Elsewhere, Amorim is expected to keep faith in goalkeeper Senne Lammens, while Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes should continue as the midfield double pivot. Matheus Cunha could operate as a false nine instead of Benjamin Sesko as the target man, with Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount as the dual No10's."
Martinez wants to travel to the Forest match but will not be included and will need time after beginning training, with gradual improvement expected. Maguire could be selected as one of three central defenders to counter Tottenham's set-piece strengths and provide an aerial threat in the opposition box. Maguire missed the win over Brighton and was an unused substitute in the draw with Forest; he scored United's winner against Liverpool last month. Senne Lammens is expected to remain goalkeeper, with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes as the midfield double pivot. Matheus Cunha could play as a false nine, supported by Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount. The match is scheduled for 12:30pm GMT on Saturday 8 November 2025 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
