"Luke Shaw opened the scoring with a rare goal before Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo struck in the second half. Forest twice responded through Morato and captain Morgan Gibbs-White but never truly looked like emerging with a point. Carrick has won 11 of 16 games since replacing Ruben Amorim and has delivered Champions League football for next season and now looks set to be given the chance to impress on a two or three-year deal."
"Shaw's superbly-taken goal was his first since January 2023. A cross from the right was not dealt with by the Forest defence and the England man took a touch before smashing a low shot across Matz Sels. Gibbs-White then should have equalised but was denied by a fine save from Senne Lammens, with United breaking instantly and Mbeumo hitting the post after going round Sels."
"Elliot Anderson then whipped in a sensational cross which was headed in by Morato for his first Premier League goal. Two minutes later Cunh"
Manchester United won 3-2 at home to Nottingham Forest with Michael Carrick strengthening his case for a permanent managerial role. Bruno Fernandes provided a cross that led to Bryan Mbeumo’s goal and reached 20 Premier League assists in the 2025-26 season, matching Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. Luke Shaw scored the opener with a rare goal, followed by Matheus Cunha and Mbeumo in the second half. Forest responded twice through Morato and captain Morgan Gibbs-White, but never looked likely to secure a point. Carrick has won 11 of 16 games since replacing Ruben Amorim, delivering Champions League football and appearing set for a two- or three-year deal. Casemiro also had an emotional farewell at Old Trafford.
