Man Utd vs Nottingham Forest LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today
Manchester United's weakness from set pieces was exploited again as they fell to a 3-2 Premier League defeat by Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Saturday, continuing a rocky start to the reign of new head coach Ruben Amorim.
Having conceded from two corners to Arsenal in a 2-0 defeat in midweek, United went behind from another corner within two minutes as Forest defender Nikola Milenkovic headed home before Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund levelled in the 18th minute.
United started the second half equally badly as goalkeeper Andre Onana allowed Morgan Gibbs-White's bouncing effort to slip past him two minutes in and was then beaten by a looping Chris Wood header from a Gibbs-White cross seven minutes later.
Bruno Fernandes pulled one back with a blistering finish from just outside the box in the 61st but United could not find an equaliser. They stay 13th on 19 points, while Forest's first win at Old Trafford in 30 years moves them up to fifth on 25

Amorim explains Fernandes latest as Man Utd boss delivers Onana verdict
20:43 , Jonathan Gorrie
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has explained his decision to substitute Bruno Fernandes during Saturday’s 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
The United boss was dealt his second consecutive defeat on a chaotic day at Old Trafford, having lost 2-0 at Arsenal earlier this week.
Amorim’s side fell behind in the opening minute after Nikola Milenkovic powered home a header from a corner, though Rasmus Hojlund would respond.
Still, the visitors took the lead early in the second-half after Morgan Gibbs-White’s effort from just outside the box somehow evaded goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Victor Lindelof injury update amid double boost before Nottingham Forest clash
16:05 , Jonathan Gorrie
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has revealed Victor Lindelof will soon be available for selection.
The defender is yet to feature under the Portuguese tactician after limping out of Sweden’s Nations League win over Slovakia during the international break because he suffered a groin injury.
Rio Ferdinand names five players who already don't 'fit' under Ruben Amorim
15:45 , Jonathan Gorrie
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand admits he fears for five players who may not “fit” Ruben Amorim’s style of play.
The 39-year-old has quickly installed the 3-4-3 system upon which he built much of his success in Portuguese football since replacing Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford last month.
While Amorim was keen to stress United could not play exactly like his all-conquering Sporting side prior to his arrival in England, a similar formation has been used throughout his tenure thus far.
The United boss went unbeaten in his first three games in charge of the club but was dealt his first defeat following Wednesday’s 2-0 loss at Arsenal.
Ruben Amorim makes admission over best line-up amid heavy squad rotation

Ruben Amorim says he’s close to knowing his best Manchester United line-up.
Appointed following the sacking of Erik ten Hag in late October, the Portuguese tactician officially started work as United’s head coach on November 11, 2024 and has overseen four games across all competitions since.
His debut game in the dugout ended in a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich Town which was followed up by back-to-back home wins over Bodo/Glimt - in the Europa League - and the 4-0 thrashing of Everton.

Amorim has vowed to rotate as the fixtures continue to pile up thick and fast. Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo and Leny Yoro all started on the bench against Arsenal and could be pushing for starts here.
Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo are both back from suspension for United. Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof are all sidelined through injury.
Amad Diallo and Marcus Rashford could both come back into the lineup too after Amorim sprung a couple of selection surprises by starting both Tyrell Malacia and Mason Mount against Arsenal.
