After a 0-2 defeat to Arsenal, Man United entered the match to welcome Nottingham Forest in the early morning of December 9 with high expectations.
However, right from the 2nd minute, Nikola Milenkovic jumped the highest to head the ball to score from a corner kick, helping the away team take the lead.
Coach Amorim's students are still trying to find an equalizer. In the 18th minute, Alejandro Garnacho observed well before assisting Hojlund to equalize 1-1. At the end of the first half, Forest responded with a header that bounced into the crossbar by Jota Silva.
However, the balance did not last long as Forest took the lead early in the second half. Morgan Gibbs-White's shot caused Andre Onana to lose momentum, allowing the ball to go into the middle of the goal. Then, it was General Generalman-White who helped Chris Wood head the ball to 3-1.
In the 60th minute, it was quite a surprise when Bruno Fernandes scored from the edge of the penalty area despite having a lot of possession but not having quality opportunities.
This 3-2 defeat marked Ruben Amorim's first defeat as the Red Devils' captain. They have temporarily dropped to 13th place in the rankings.
