Manchester United suffered their second defeat on the bounce with Nottingham Forest claiming a famous victory at Old Trafford.
After being undone on set pieces by Arsenal midweek, United’s defensive frailties were again exposed on Saturday night with the scale of the task at hand for Ruben Amorim laid bare.
A 3-2 defeat leaves United slumped in 13th place.
Nikola Milenkovic opened the scoring inside two minutes but an equaliser from Rasmus Hojlund looked to put the hosts back on the right track.
Two minutes into the second-half however they trailed again with Andre Onana letting Morgan Gibbs-White’s shot squirm underneath him.
Chris Wood added a third and while Bruno Fernandes pulled one back, it wasn’t enough to rescue his side.
