Man Utd v Forest to go ahead despite storm

Manchester United have released a statement confirming that their Premier League matchday 15 fixture against Nottingham Forest will proceed as planned. The announcement comes amid widespread disruptions caused by Storm Darragh, which has already led to the postponement of Saturday's Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool.
The storm, bringing severe winds and heavy rainfall, has raised concerns over safety at multiple venues across the UK. However, Old Trafford has been deemed safe to host the match, and no significant travel issues are expected for players or fans.
"We understand that fan travel will be disrupted by the weather so this fixture will not be included in the minimum number of games a season that season tickets must be used," they wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
This decision ensures that United can continue their league campaign without delay as they look to strengthen their position in the table. Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, will aim to build momentum as they travel to Manchester under challenging weather conditions.
The storm has already impacted one of the Premier League's most iconic fixtures, but United's encounter with the Tricky Trees appears set to provide fans with football amidst the turbulent weather.
