Match Overview: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
Rúben Amorim named an unchanged starting XI as Manchester United traveled to the City Ground for their Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Both teams started aggressively, creating early chances, with Forest initially dominating the play.
Despite the pressure from the hosts, Manchester United took the lead when Casemiro scored a header from a corner, a decision that sparked controversy among Forest fans who felt the corner should not have been awarded.
Forest sought an equalizer before halftime but failed to break down United’s defense.
Second Half Drama

Amad’s Impact
