Manchester United midfielder Casemiro will play his final game at Old Trafford for the Reds this afternoon.
Manchester United will play their final match of the season at Old Trafford this afternoon when they host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. After last season’s disappointment, there will be a feel good feeling inside the stadium as the Reds gear up for a return to the Champions League next year.
Forest are safe and may choose to make changes ahead of their final match of the season at the City Ground next week. However, United should go for a strong starting line-up. Senne Lammens is guaranteed to start in goal.
Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw have solidified themselves as the starting full-backs this season. Shaw’s fitness has been particularly pleasing considering his injury issues over recent campaigns. He is just two starts away from starting every Premier League match for United this season.

Carrick has favoured Harry Maguire since returning and there is little evidence to suggest he will deviate from that stance. Partnering him could be Leny Yoro or Ayden Heaven but the most likely choice will be Lisandro Martinez.
The midfield two pick themselves. Casemiro is fit and Carrick will not deny him a start on his final Old Trafford appearance. Partnering him will be Kobbie Mainoo who has played so well in 2026 he has been nominated for the Premier League’s Young Player of the Year award.
In front of them will be Bruno Fernandes. The captain has been superb this season and without him this would have been a very different season.
Benjamin Sesko’s injury means the three attackers pick themselves. Bryan Mbeumo will lead the line, albeit Matheus Cunha is an option for that role.
Amad will begin on the right flank. He has hit a difficult patch of form and desperately needs a goal.
United’s predicted XI vs Forest: Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Cunha; Mbeumo
