Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has issued a strong reminder to his teammates to stay fully focused and alert ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester United. The 25-year-old believes the Red Devils are starting to regain their rhythm after a rocky start to the season and will arrive at The City Ground full of confidence and determination.
This weekend, Forest will welcome Manchester United in what promises to be a thrilling encounter in Matchweek 10 of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Both sides are chasing crucial points—United to continue their resurgence and Forest to prove their strength at home.
Manchester United’s Return to Form
After a sluggish and inconsistent start to the campaign, Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United have begun to find their groove. The team has recently shown more cohesion, confidence, and tactical understanding—key indicators that United are moving in the right direction under their Portuguese manager.
Gibbs-White believes this transformation makes Manchester United a completely different side compared to the one seen earlier in the season. “You can clearly see that the players are now understanding what their manager wants from them,” he said in a recent interview. “They’re starting to play with real structure, belief, and intent. This looks like the Manchester United everyone expects to see.”
“Their Determination Is Back”
Gibbs-White went on to praise United’s fighting spirit, highlighting that the team now competes with a strong sense of pride and unity—traits that make them a dangerous opponent for any side in the Premier League.
“You can tell they’re playing with incredible determination,” he added. “They fight for every ball, they give everything for the badge on their chest, and that’s something you can’t take lightly. It’s what makes them so tough to play against.”
The Forest midfielder emphasized that his team must match United’s energy and mentality if they hope to come away with a positive result. “We can’t afford any lapses in concentration. Every mistake will be punished when you’re facing a team like them.”
Forest’s Strong Record Against United
Despite Manchester United’s resurgence, Nottingham Forest can take confidence from their recent meetings with the Red Devils. Forest have won three of their last four matches against United, including a memorable 1-0 victory at The City Ground the last time they met.
That winning record will serve as extra motivation for Forest as they aim to defend their home turf once again. “We know what it takes to beat them,” Gibbs-White said confidently. “But this is a different United now, so we’ll need to be at our very best.”
Focus, Discipline, and Team Spirit
As the match draws closer, Gibbs-White’s message to his teammates is clear—respect the opponent, play with heart, and remain disciplined from start to finish. With Manchester United showing signs of revival, Nottingham Forest will need every ounce of determination to keep their impressive home record intact.
The clash between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United at The City Ground this weekend is shaping up to be one of the most exciting fixtures of the round, as both teams look to continue their upward trajectory in the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
