The size of the task facing new boss Ruben Amorim was laid bare after second consecutive defeat
Sat Dec 07 2024 - 20:24reign as Nottingham Forest capitalised on some poor defending and goalkeeping to secure a shock 3-2 Premier League win at Old Trafford.
Corners proved their undoing at Arsenal and Milenkovic headed home from one after just 88 seconds on Saturday, with set pieces continuing to prove a problem after Rasmus Hojlund levelled. It was a first defeat for Amorim at Old Trafford, where there was a heartfelt prematch tribute to Kath Phipps after United’s longest-serving employee died this week at the age of 85.
Elliot Anderson sent over a corner and Milenkovic all-too easily beat returning Lisandro Martinez to the ball, powering a close-range header past Onana.United rallied after that early setback, with Diogo Dalot and Fernandes striking wide from distance before Amad Diallo saw a shot blocked and Matz Sels tipped over a Martinez header.
Forest pushed for another as Ola Aina’s driven ball was struck wide at the far post by Wood, who would soon send the away end wild. Diallo showed good skill and awareness after driving down the right to play back for Fernandes, who swept the ball past Sels from the edge of the box.
