The Red Devils suffered 2-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground which is sure to sweep away all the positive energy generated by the thrilling Boxing Day comeback against Aston Villa.
Sir Alex Ferguson observed from the stands and will undoubtedly be disappointed with his club, as Erik ten Hag United suffered a staggering 14 losses in this year’s football campaign—the most before the end of the year in a single season since 1930-31, when United finished at the bottom.
Also, Nottingham Forest beat Manchester United for the first time since 1994 with Morgan Gibbs-White’s late strike being enough to seal the 2-1 win.

As Manchester United chased a winner they would unfortunately fall to a Forest counter strike to clinch the victory just four minutes later.
