Ruben Amorim's first two games at Old Trafford have been thrillers so fans will be hoping for more of the same when Nottingham Forest come calling in the Premier League.
The Portuguese coach has brought a bit of optimism back to United's vast global fanbase by getting a team that looked moribund under Erik Ten Hag to play vibrant, fast, attacking football.
His first game at the Theatre of Dreams was a rollercoaster 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League and Amorim's side followed that up by smashing Everton 4-0 last weekend.
Taking on Arsenal at the Emirates on Wednesday was a massive step up in class and the scale of the task facing the new manager was underlined as the Gunners claimed a 2-0 win.
Slip Tips fancied both teams to score in that game but Gunners keeper David Raya only had to make one decent save as Amorim's side failed to create clear-cut chances.
Now Manchester United need to find a way to break down a Nottingham Forest side who have been arguably the surprise package of the Premier League season so far.
Forest started the season as fourth favourites in the relegation odds but find themselves in the top half instead, despite losing 3-0 on Wednesday as champions Manchester City finally got back to winning ways.
How the bookies view it: Red Devils homing in on the points
With Manchester United looking pretty slick in their last Old Trafford outing, it's no surprise to see them as 14/25 favourites with Kwiff. Nottingham Forest are 33/10 outsiders and the draw pays 13/5.
Recent head to head: United bossing it
These sides have faced off seven times in the last two seasons and Manchester United have dominated, winning six of those games and losing just once. The last two meetings at Old Trafford have ended in 3-0 and 3-2 wins for the Red Devils.
Players to watch: Bruno's the man to rely on
Amorim has been rotating his squad to get a proper look at all of his players and could make some more changes here after a tough assignment in midweek. Skipper Bruno Fernandes is one of the few players who has featured in all the games and looks the best bet for a United goal here. He's 7/4 at Kwiff for anytime scorer and 11/4 at Bet365 for an assist.
Nottingham Forest's superb start to the season has been built around the goals of veteran striker Chris Wood. The Kiwi is in the middle of a purple patch and is 11/5 at Kwiff to add to his tally here.
Probable line-ups
Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez return from bans for Manchester United but Luke Shaw is set to miss out with injury and fellow stoppers Johnny Evans and Victor Lindelof are doubts.
Nottingham Forest midfield duo Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo remain sidelined and are unlikely to be fit before the new year.
Manchester United: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez; Dalot, Mainoo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Amad, Garnacho, Zirkzee.
Nottingham Forest: Sels, Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno, Yates, Dominguez, Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Elanga, Wood.
Anything else catch the eye?
Manchester United have been giving their opponents plenty of chances in front of goal, with their only clean sheet so far under Amorim more down to poor Everton finishing than rock-solid defending. That makes me think we could see plenty of goals at both ends, with over 2.5 goals and BTTS paying a decent 47/50 at Kwiff.
Former United winger Anthony Elanga will be out to prove a point against his old club and the winger is a tempting evens at Bet365 just to have an effort on target.
We haven't seen a lot of corners in United's games since Amorim took charge so it could pay to back under 11 corners here, which pays 11/10 with Bet365.
