Forest boss Nuno seeks attacking courage against Man Utd

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno says they're confident facing Manchester United tomorrow night.

Forest host United after winning at Newcastle in midweek.

“We have to compete very well and improve defensively - especially in terms of defending our own box," said Nuno. “I think we did well (against Newcastle), but I think we have to be very careful because they have threats all over the pitch.

“But it's not just about that. We have to be more positive and then we have to go for the game, and I think we saw that in the second half at St James' Park with our fans singing. We are going to be at the City Ground and we need to be ourselves, let's try.

“United are a big club, with fantastic players. We know it will be hard and we saw how they came back from behind (against Villa) and how they changed the game, so we expect a very very difficult game.

“I have a big admiration for Bruno Fernandes, he's a big player. We have to take care of all of them, they're so good. But we are at the City Ground and coming back off a good game. What we want is to compete well and give it a go."
