Interim manager Michael Carrick has led Man Utd back into the promised land of the Champions League and it looks like only a matter of time before he seals the job on a permanent basis.
Since Carrick was appointed in January, no team has won more points in the top-flight than the Red Devils.
Nottsm Forest bounced back last weekend to seal a point against Newcastle, just days after suffering a 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the Europa League semi-final.

Team news
Carrick has a few players who could miss the Forest game. Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt is eyeing a return, but it is unclear whether he will play again before the end of the season.
Benjamin Sesko and Manuel Ugarte both missed the Sunderland match with shin and back issues respectively and this game could be too soon for both of them.
Brazilian midfielder Casemiro should make his return in what will be his final game at Old Trafford.
For the visitors Callum Hudson-Odoi, John Victor and Nicolo Savona will all definitely miss out due to injury.
There could be returns for Murillo and Ibrahim Sangare, who both missed the game against Newcastle, while it remains to be seen whether Morgan Gibbs-White will play again this season.
The stats
United are currently on a poor run of form against their opponents this weekend, having not won across their previous four meetings.
August 2023 was the last time United defeated Forest in the Premier League and Vitor Pereira's men could win consecutive away games at Old Trafford for the first time in over 30 years.
The Red Devils have lost only one of their previous 18 final home games of the campaign and that came in 2019 against Cardiff City.
Four of the previous seven matches between the clubs has seen both teams scoring.
Three of United's last four top-flight wins have seen both teams finding the back of the net, while both teams have scored in three of Forest's previous six.
United can boast the third-best attacking record in the Premier League, while Forest have scored more goals than only six other teams this term.

Prediction
With United securing a Champions League place and Forest safe from relegation, this game could well be played without much tension.
As such, the fans should be treated to a lively encounter that could well feature plenty of goals at Old Trafford.
The optimism in Manchester is high heading into the summer, the big question is will Carrick still be at the helm?
Surely it is a case of when, rather than if, he gets the job. Expect United to win comfortably on Sunday, but Forest will pose some problems in the final third.
