Manchester United missed a chance to temporarily climb into second place after being held to a thrilling 2-2 draw by Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Despite taking a first-half lead through Casemiro in what was head coach Ruben Amorim’s one-year anniversary, United were stunned early in the second half as Forest scored twice in quick succession. The comeback was sealed late in the game by a stunning volley from Amad, salvaging a valuable point and stretching United’s unbeaten run to four matches.
