This weekend, Manchester United take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, looking for four wins in a row.
Ahead of the game, Morgan Gibbs-White has been interviewed by Stan Sport, where he has revealed his thoughts on the improvements seen at Old Trafford lately.
“They’ve stuck with the gaffer and in the last 4-5 games you are really starting to see how Man United should be playing.
“You know that grit and that determination to want and play for the badge I feel it is incredible to see it and I feel like it’s something that the league has missed.”
United’s improvements go beyond the past three games, with performances deserving much more in the opening weeks of the season.
Finally, the points are catching up, with victory this coming weekend potentially putting the Red Devils as high as second in the league.
Morgan Gibbs-White urges Nottingham Forest not to bow down to Manchester United
It is testament to Amorim how he managed to survive the huge pressure around him, and turned things around from all-time low points.
But this weekend, Gibbs-White will hope to revive Forest’s campaign. As he quickly admitted after praising United that he won’t be bowing down to the renewed Red Devils.
“All we can do is focus on ourselves. We can’t focus on how Man United are doing and how their performances are, because if we do that then we are just almost bowing down to them.
“We need to focus on what we want to do, how we can win the game. This week we’ve already started to implement some ideas.”
Despite his comments, if United play to the same level as last week, it should be a comfortable victory. Perhaps Gibbs-White is laying ground work for a 2026 transfer.
