Ruben Amorim will have work to do. On the Manchester United bench for five matches, the Portuguese manager suffered his second consecutive defeat when he saw Nottingham Forest create a surprise by winning at Old Trafford. From the 2nd minute, Milenkovic opened the scoring for the visitors with a header from a corner. In domination, MU equalized thanks to Højlund, after a rejected attempt by Garnacho (1-1, 18th). Returning from the locker room, Forest regained the advantage with a powerful strike from Gibbs-White (2-1, 47th).
A few minutes later, the inevitable Wood scored the third goal with a precise header at the far post (3-1, 54th). The captain of the Red Devils, Fernandes could only reduce the gap (3-2, 61st) and fell into crisis. With only 19 points in 15 games, MU is 13th in the Premier League before going to play the Mancunian derby at the Etihad Stadium. For their part, Forest confirms their great victory against Liverpool and jumps to 5th place.
