Ellis to spearhead attack in big three's absence"/>

Ellis is set to spearhead Manchester United's attack in the absence of the club's big three, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Anthony Martial.

Rashford is nursing a knock, while Antony and Martial are suspended. Ellis has been in impressive form for United's youth teams this season, scoring 10 goals in 12 appearances.

Dennis doubtful for Forest clash

Dennis is a doubt for Nottingham Forest's clash with Brighton on Saturday. The striker picked up a knock in training on Thursday and is being assessed by the club's medical staff.

Dennis has been in fine form for Forest this season, scoring 10 goals in 20 appearances. His absence would be a big blow for the newly promoted side.

Jones and Osunde ruled out of action

Manchester United have confirmed that Jones and Osunde will miss the club's next three matches due to injury.

Jones has been struggling with a calf problem, while Osunde is suffering from a hamstring injury. Both players are expected to be back in action after the international break.

Ellis is relishing the opportunity to lead the line for United

"It's a great opportunity for me to show what I can do," said Ellis. "I've been working hard in training and I'm ready to take my chance."

"I know it's a big ask, but I'm confident that I can score goals for this team. I'm going to give it my all and hopefully we can get some positive results."
