If you apply a rigid body, you can check which direction it is moving by returning the rigidbody.velocity. If you want to face your object in that direction you can just say transform.forward = rigidbody.velocity.

But this question has been answered many times so please put in the effort and check before you ask.

And if he isn't using a rigidbody, he can just use transform.LookAt on the move operation.
