Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United LIVE!

Erik ten Hag failed to turn Man United's new era off the pitch into more than a flash in the pan on when his Red Devils were beaten by Nottingham Forest on Saturday. This latest Premier League defeat came after United's thrilling 3-2 comeback win over Aston Villa on Boxing Day, which coincided with news that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has finally sealed his arrival at the club.

Rasmus Hojlund missed out through illness only days after grabbing his first league for United, along with Luke Shaw.

Morgan Gibbs-White grabbed the winner after 82 minutes to cap a thrilling second half, with the first period failing to provide any real action of note. Nicolas Dominguez's opener for Forest was cancelled out when Marcus Rashford punished Matt Turner's error in the home team's goal.

Manchester United lost a game immediately after a win for the seventh time this season as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

For so often when there have been wins over a Chelsea, a Fulham or most recently an Aston Villa, around the corner a Bournemouth, a Copenhagen and now a Forest have waited to haunt Erik ten Hag.

Recap the action with our match report!

Highlights: The winning goal

19:43 , Marc Mayo

Morgan Gibbs-White capped a fine breakaway to win it only four minutes after Man United had levelled the score.

19:29 , Marc Mayo

Christian Eriksen shoots wide... and that is it!

Nottingham Forest beat Manchester United for the first time since 1992!

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 90+11 mins

19:29 , Marc Mayo

Fittingly, Matt Turner claims a cross - at the second attempt - to send the home fans wild.

Is that it? We go past the 100-minute mark...

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 90+10 mins

19:28 , Marc Mayo

Christian Eriksen booked in that corner-flag fracas.

Forest nearly home...

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 90+9 mins

19:28 , Marc Mayo

Forest fight for the ball by their own corner flag and get the call for a foul.

Morgan Gibbs-White claims the official Man of the Match honour for what may well be the winning goal.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 90+8 mins

19:26 , Marc Mayo

Amad Diallo spins onto his left foot in the box but can only shoot straight down the keeper's throat.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 90+7 mins

19:25 , Marc Mayo

All a bit chaotic in the Forest box before they get an offside call to defuse the tension.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 90+6 mins

19:24 , Marc Mayo

SAVE!

Bruno Fernandes drills a low effort into the crowd, it hits Murillo and Matt Turner reacts well to tip over.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 90+5 mins

19:23 , Marc Mayo

The away end demands a handball in the Forest box off Harry Toffolo. Came off his midriff, in fact.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 90+3 mins

19:21 , Marc Mayo

Injury delay with Morgan Gibbs-White down and holding his back after coming off second best in a fair attempt at a high ball.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 90+2 mins

19:20 , Marc Mayo

Big cheers from the Forest fans as Alejandro Garnacho can't keep the ball in. Goal kick.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 90 mins

19:18 , Marc Mayo

We're into TEN minutes added on.

Highlights: Nicolas Dominguez opens scoring

19:18 , Marc Mayo

Watch this back as Sergio Reguilon replaces Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 89 mins

19:17 , Marc Mayo

Corner easily claimed by Matt Turner.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 88 mins

19:16 , Marc Mayo

Orel Mangala straight into the book, before United win a fortunate corner from the free-kick into the box.

Definitely came off Jonny Evans, that.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 87 mins

19:15 , Marc Mayo

Forest left-back Ola Aina, who has caused big trouble for United all night, is off for Harry Toffolo. Danilo and Anthony Elanga also replaced by Orel Mangala and Willy Boly.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | 85 mins

19:14 , Marc Mayo

Well, the second half has been a LOT better than the first, that's fair to say.

Alejandro Garnacho is booked for a trip but VAR is double checking if there is some mistaken identity involved. No such worries, in the end.

GGGGOOOOAAALLLLL!!!! Nottingham Forest 2-1 Man Utd | Gibbs-White, 82'

19:11 , Marc Mayo

Christian Eriksen stings the goalkeeper's palms before Forest break...

Morgan Gibbs-White takes aim - AND SCORES!

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Man Utd | 80 mins

19:09 , Marc Mayo

Callum Hudson-Odoi on for Nicolas Dominguez as Forest react to that goal, and now all of a sudden could be clinging on for a point!

GGGGOOOOOAAALLLL!!! Nottingham Forest 1-1 Man Utd | Rashford, 78'

19:06 , Marc Mayo

MARCUS RASHFORD MAKES THE KEEPER PAY THAT TIME!

Yet again, Matt Turner tries to play out from the back and Alejandro Garnacho grabs it.

A slick ball by the Argentine finds Rashford who slams home!

We're all square...

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Man Utd | 77 mins

19:05 , Marc Mayo

Matt Turner gets away with it!

Not for the first time tonight, the Forest keeper's shonky footwork almost punishes him as he skies a clearance which manages to bounce over Marcus Rashford's leap to be claimed by the American.

Couldn't have done that if he tried...

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Man Utd | 74 mins

19:02 , Marc Mayo

Nuno makes his first change of the evening, Neco Williams replacing Gonzalo Montiel at right-back.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Man Utd | 72 mins

19:00 , Marc Mayo

The hosts are first to so many loose balls, but Morgan Gibbs-White's poke into the box is too strong for his runner.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Man Utd | 70 mins

18:58 , Marc Mayo

Into the last 20 minutes and United have fizzled out again. Who can ignite them into life?

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Man Utd | 67 mins

18:55 , Marc Mayo

That goal has, unsurprisingly, sparked United into a bit of life.

Gonzalo Montiel clears a dangerous move for a corner, from which Alejandro Garnacho slams a half-volley into the ground and it bounces over the bar.

GGGGOOOOOAAALLLL!!! Nottingham Forest 1-0 Man Utd | Dominguez, 63'

18:52 , Marc Mayo

NICOLAS DOMINGUEZ!

It's a goal just as simple as you'd expect from this game.

Forest work it into the right channel, cut a ball back and Dominguez is standing, waiting... unmarked! He slots home with ease.

The City Ground erupts!

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 63 mins

18:51 , Marc Mayo

A bit gingerly, Marcus Rashford is on his feet and heads to the touchline to wait out his mandatory 30 seconds before returning to the fold.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 62 mins

18:50 , Marc Mayo

Now it's the away end's turn to make a hopeful call for a penalty after Marcus Rashford hits the deck alongside Murillo.

Rashford stays down, he needs treatment.

He jars his knee a touch in the tangle, perhaps.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 59 mins

18:46 , Marc Mayo

All getting a bit feisty now, Raphael Varane chopping his man to take a booking.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 57 mins

18:45 , Marc Mayo

Morgan Gibbs-White booked in front of the angry home end after a pair of kicks at Scott McTominay and lunge at Jonny Evans, before a furious reaction to conceding a foul.

Tim Robinson also takes Diogo Dalot's name.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 56 mins

18:44 , Marc Mayo

OFF THE POST!

Out of nowhere, Diogo Dalot rattles the woodwork with a hit from 20 yards! Good run and pass by Aaron Wan-Bissaka to tee him up.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 54 mins

18:42 , Marc Mayo

Antony is off for United, Amad Diallo on.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 53 mins

18:41 , Marc Mayo

Very, very risky tackle from Aaron Wan-Bissaka manages to not trip Ola Aina up as he's beaten for pace into the United box.

Once again, the cross fails to find a red shirt though.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 51 mins

18:39 , Marc Mayo

Forest on the front foot once more but can't find a man with the cross from the byline.

More faint appeals for a spot-kick waved away.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 49 mins

18:38 , Marc Mayo

Hopeful appeal for a penalty from the home fans after Morgan Gibbs-White tumbles over Scott McTominay. Nothing in it, despite United making a meal off a simple cross into the box.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 48 mins

18:36 , Marc Mayo

Lame stuff from Marcus Rashford, as Forest gift the ball away in their own half and the striker attempts a backheel into the box that Bruno Fernandes was never going to reach.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 46 mins

18:35 , Marc Mayo

Not sure exactly what Kobbie Mainoo did wrong in that half, he was just as 5/10 as the rest of the United XI.

Scott McTominay slots into his same central-deep position in the visiting midfield.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | Kick-off!

18:34 , Marc Mayo

Scott McTominay on for Kobbie Mainoo as United look to spruce themselves up for the second half.

Here come the players

18:33 , Marc Mayo

Second half up soon, with Anthony Elanga out on the pitch a few minutes early to stretch his legs. An injury worry, perhaps?

There for the taking for Nottingham Forest

18:29 , Marc Mayo

A bit of a dilemma for Nuno at the break; Forest can either hold tight for what will likely be a point or push on to try for a win that is very much within their grasp.

A point will still be a good point, he may well think, even if United have been average.

The hosts have shown glimpses but overall a bit too disjointed going forward.

All a bit stale from Man Utd

18:27 , Marc Mayo

Just one (blocked) shot from the visitors in that game.

Erik ten Hag's side has played some frankly dreadful football in attack this season and this is so far going down as yet another case of it.

No risks, no inventive runs and no attempt to get Marcus Rashford powering at the defence.

Fergie in the stands

18:24 , Marc Mayo

Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Dave Brailsford, INEOS director of sport, may well have plenty to discuss...

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | Half-time!

18:18 , Marc Mayo

That's the break!

Not a great half of football, in all truth.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 45 mins

18:17 , Marc Mayo

One minute added on.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 44 mins

18:16 , Marc Mayo

Another chance for Morgan Gibbs-White to whip a ball in, from a corner on Forests' left flank.

Andre Onana punches clear with authority.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 42 mins

18:13 , Marc Mayo

Morgan Gibbs-White pumps a deep cross to the far post after a Forest free-kick, but Nicolas Dominguez runs it out of play.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 40 mins

18:12 , Marc Mayo

Five minutes from the half-time break. Doesn't feel like much has happened for a long stoppage time.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 36 mins

18:08 , Marc Mayo

Nicely done by Chris Wood to keep a scrappy move alive for the hosts, but Bruno Fernandes is back well and United get a favourable call to win the goal kick.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 33 mins

18:05 , Marc Mayo

Aaron Wan-Bissaka flies in United's first shot of the game, from just outside the D. Quickly blocked.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 32 mins

18:04 , Marc Mayo

Spooned over by Ryan Yates after Danilo superbly picked out Anthony Elanga on the right flank.

Not much service for Chris Wood in the box so far from Forest, just like Marcus Rashford who has been given the ball to get the run on his defenders a whole zero times.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 30 mins

18:01 , Marc Mayo

Forest dawdle at a bouncing ball into their box but Antony's limp attempt to grab a hold of it allows for an easy clearance.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 27 mins

17:58 , Marc Mayo

A good bit of energy from Anthony Elanga, charging down Jonny Evans hack clear and forcing the veteran defender to slide the ball into touch.

Morgan Gibbs-White's corner ends in a Danilo thunderbolt, well blocked.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 24 mins

17:56 , Marc Mayo

Just eight combined touches in the opposition boxes with two shots, both for Forest, to go on so far.

Not much.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 22 mins

17:55 , Marc Mayo

A bit of a cry from the home end to push up and get at United's possession by the halfway line.

The visitors work it slowly down the right and hold on despite Kobbie Mainoo running into a crowd.

Eventually, the home team win a foul and this fairly dry period of play continues.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 20 mins

17:52 , Marc Mayo

Slack pass out from the back by Jonny Evans but Forest cannot make anything of it immediately.

They settle into possession in the middle third, and are yet to get key man Morgan Gibbs-White into any influence on this game.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 17 mins

17:48 , Marc Mayo

Promising start to this game, neither side really on top after a good little spell by United - but both looking more than capable.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 14 mins

17:45 , Marc Mayo

Lovely ball in by Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho is just held off from getting on the end of it by Gonzalo Montiel's strength.

Forest and Ola Aina then do well to win a goal kick.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 12 mins

17:43 , Marc Mayo

CLOSE!

Anthony Elanga darts in down the left to cause problems for his old team and Raphael Varane flings a flimsy leg at the cross, almost diverting it into his own net!

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 10 mins

17:41 , Marc Mayo

Nice work by Aaron Wan-Bissaka to put a toe in for a tackle as Forest break into the box but United can't hold onto it for long.

Too much time for Gonzalo Montiel to pick out a cross and his weak effort nonetheless wins a corner.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 7 mins

17:38 , Marc Mayo

First sighter for Chris Wood, who picks up the ball 20 yards out. Onto his left foot, he drills a shot over.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 6 mins

17:38 , Marc Mayo

Ironic cheers from the home fans as Matt Turner pumps a clearance long following a pair of shaky short passes.

Forest are otherwise pretty happy to knock it round safely at this stage.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 4 mins

17:36 , Marc Mayo

Good pressure from United after the corner as Forest are forced back to Matt Turner, who plays an unconvincing pass out.

The visitors' first corner reaches Alejandro Garnacho... goal kick from his cross. He wants a corner but no luck.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Man Utd | 2 mins

17:33 , Marc Mayo

Looks like a more typical 4-3-3 from United as we get going, Kobbie Mainoo playing deep behind Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes.

It's Mainoo who blocks an Nicolas Dominguez effort for the first of the game. Corner to Forest.

Sir Dave Brailsford, INEOS' director of sport, was at Old Trafford on Boxing Day and saw United fall 2-0 down to Aston Villa before producing a stunning 3-2 turnaround against Aston Villa, and Ten Hag says he will be speaking to the new minority owners soon.

"The schedule is so condensed so I didn't have the time so far to speak with them, but it will come and I look forward (to it)," the United boss said.

"They want to work with me, I want to work with them. We will have the conversations, the meetings, so we will see."
