Nottingham Forest's search for a new manager after yesterday's sacking of Ange Postecoglou could reportedly end up being bad news for Manchester United. It seems one name on Forest's list of targets to replace Postecoglou is Fulham boss Marco Silva, according to the Times. We also know, however, that Ruben Amorim probably isn't that safe at Man United, and this has previously seen Silva come up on their list of candidates, according to Football Insider.

It is Liverpool against Manchester United and a manager is on a historically bad run. Not Ruben Amorim, either, who has equalled his longest winning sequence in the Premier League as United head coach (admittedly, that is only one victory). But Arne Slot has suffered three successive defeats for the first time: in his managerial career, not merely in his reign on Merseyside.

Ruben Amorim has faced increasing scrutiny over his tactics during a difficult 11 months in charge of Manchester United. The United boss has refused to deviate from his favoured 3-4-2-1 formation since arriving at Old Trafford, despite a string of calamitous results. Red Devils stars have reportedly been left 'confused' and 'frustrated' by Amorim's tactical inflexibility, but the Portuguese may have now found a way to make the formation better suit his players.

Manchester United will surely be on high alert again for Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola after his side's win that took them to second in the Premier League table last night. The Spanish tactician is doing a superb job with the Cherries at the moment, and it's understood that he's appreciated by Man Utd, even if no talks have taken place yet.

As reported for the Daily Briefing yesterday, it is understood that the mood inside Old Trafford is really low right now, though a decision on sacking Amorim is not exactly looking imminent. This is similar to what is now being reported by talkSPORT, with their report stating that Man Utd are keen to stick with Amorim for a bit longer, even if contingency plans are also being made.
