Red Devils confident of finishing season strongly as team ride on positive energy
-
LONDON - It is unusual that Nottingham Forest are fighting for a Champions League spot, while the once-mighty Manchester United are hoping to just clinch consecutive English Premier League wins this season.
But on April 1, that would be the storyline at the City Ground when Forest host the Red Devils as league action returns following the international break.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side are third in the standings on 54 points, six ahead of Manchester City in fifth - which could earn the last Champions League berth. United are languishing in 13th, a massive 17 points behind Forest.
United manager Ruben Amorim, however, is pleased that his team are feeling more and more sure of their progress now towards the end of the season despite their position.
"I think I can say that I am really confident and the players are more confident," he said on March 31.
"The energy is different, but I know that could change with results. We know we have to improve and we are ready for these final two months of this season.
"I don't know which place we are going to finish in, but we want to win games.
