Despite dominating possession and creating opportunities, United was unable to convert their 24 shots into goals. The win solidifies Forest's position in the standings, placing them third, while United remains in 13th place. This match marked yet another instance where a former player has scored against Manchester United, reflecting their struggles this season and the impressive form of Forest as they aim for Champions League qualification.
Casemiro nodded wide from another corner as United sought a response, with Diogo Dalot's glancing header then bouncing off the bar from a third Fernandes set-piece.
While United stay 13th in the table, the victory takes third-placed Forest eight points clear of Chelsea and nine above Manchester City, both of whom are yet to play this week.
