"He (Martinez) wants to go to this one [Forest], he isn't going to this one, said the Portuguese. He's going to need time. He has started training with us. Slowly he is going to get better."
"I watched (Forest's match against Porto), I watched against Bournemouth, the style of play is similar, with different characteristics. He can change some characteristics of the players with the talent that they have, especially with Gibbs-White, Anderson, Hudson-Odoi, very good players."
"So we need to be prepared for a different game against Brighton. We had space to play. We are not going to have that space. You need to understand that we are not being the same team away and at home, so we need to improve the way we control the environment. Every tackle is a big moment for the opponent's fans, so we need to play better away. We are prepared for a very tough match."
Lisandro Martinez has resumed training with Manchester United but is not fit to face Nottingham Forest and will need more time before returning to matches. His presence in training has increased intensity and given the team an extra edge. Harry Maguire missed the win over Brighton with a knock and his availability for the upcoming match remains uncertain. Nottingham Forest have recorded one win in two matches under Sean Dyche and possess creative players such as Gibbs-White, Anderson and Hudson-Odoi. United expect a tighter, more physical away game and emphasise better control of the environment and defensive focus.
