Manchester United 2-3 Nottingham Forest: Woods goal proves the difference in Old Trafford thriller

Ruben Amorim’s bright start at Manchester United suffered a blow on Wednesday night when they were beaten 2-0 at Arsenal.

The Portuguese made some bold selections – dropping the likes of Amad Diallo, Casemiro and Marcus Rashford – but it backfired as the home side scored from two set-pieces to inflict Amorim’s first defeat as United boss.

They will fancy their chances of returning to winning ways this afternoon against a Forest side making their second trip to Manchester in five days.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side played well in patches at Manchester City in midweek but ended up losing 3-0.
