The Red Devils parted with Erik ten Hag following a 2-1 defeat to West Ham United last weekend to end a two-year tenure.

Ten Hag won both domestic cups with United but his performances in the Premier League and in Europe were way below par.

Forest managed to beat United under Ten Hag last season, securing a 2-1 win at the City Ground courtesy of goals from Nicolas Dominguez and Morgan Gibbs-White.

Football management can be a fickle career – as Espirito Santo knows all too well – and now the Forest man has been quizzed on Ten Hag’s exit.

Forest gave a good account of themselves last season in that fixture, leading 2-0 before having Joe Worrall sent off and succumbing to a 3-2 defeat.

This season’s Forest are a different animal though and a game against United will be one that the Reds will take belief into.

The Red Devils will come to Forest in April for a clash under the floodlights in midweek and by then the new manager will have his feet under the table.

Whether that man is Amorim remains to be seen and United’s next appointment looks like a big one for the new owners.
