As Nottingham Forest prepare to host Manchester United at the City Ground on October 29, 2025, midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has heaped praise on Ruben Amorim’s transformation of the Red Devils. With United climbing to sixth place on 16 points—thanks to eight goals in their last three matches—Gibbs-White’s remarks add a tone of respect before a vital Premier League showdown.
Forest, sitting 18th with just five points, are desperate to end their nine-game winless streak. Yet even in the midst of that struggle, Gibbs-White acknowledged the tactical and mental evolution driving United’s recent success. “He’s made an incredible change,” he said, commending Amorim for reshaping United’s mentality and direction.
Amorim’s arrival has sparked a visible turnaround at Old Trafford. His blend of high pressing, fluid attacking play, and focus on player development has restored belief among fans and players alike. Under his leadership, United recorded three straight wins for the first time this season—including a thrilling 4-2 victory over Brighton, powered by Bryan Mbeumo’s brace.
Players like Amad Diallo have flourished in the new system, contributing more high-speed runs and dynamic transitions. The results speak volumes: United’s renewed confidence contrasts sharply with Forest’s inconsistency. For Gibbs-White, who has been Forest’s standout performer, admiration for Amorim’s methods reflects both professionalism and shared footballing vision.
Ironically, Gibbs-White was once linked to United under Amorim’s watch. Reports earlier this year revealed the Portuguese manager’s admiration for his energy and creativity, with Forest valuing him at £60 million before Tottenham intervened with a summer swoop. Despite the missed transfer, Gibbs-White’s current form—highlighted by precision passing and relentless pressing—continues to justify his growing reputation.
As kickoff approaches, the clash represents a battle between revival and redemption. Amorim’s rejuvenated United aim to extend their hot streak, while Forest fight to rediscover their spark under Sean Dyche. Whether Gibbs-White’s praise proves prophetic or ironic will unfold under the floodlights at the City Ground.
