Manchester United players only had themselves to blame after suffering defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.
Things went from bad to worse for Ruben Amorim, who has now lost back-to-back games in the Premier League as Manchester United head coach.
After the loss against Arsenal midweek, the Red Devils were looking to bounce back at Old Trafford but suffered a 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
United have often started quickly under Amorim and taken an early lead, but this time it was Forest who struck early and it was another corner that led to a goal.
Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes found the back of the net for United but Forest’s quickfire double in the second half meant they picked up their first win at Old Trafford in 30 years.

Andre Onana had his worst game of the season vs Nottingham Forest
United kicked off the second half looking to go and find a winner, but just two minutes later Morgan Gibbs-White was celebrating after his tame effort found its way past Andre Onana.
Onana has been ‘world class’ for United this season but he had an afternoon to forget against Forest.

He made a glaring error for the Gibbs-White goal and it seemed to have an impact on his confidence with Onana giving the ball away sloppily shortly after.
Arguably, Onana has been the Premier League’s best goalkeeper this season after preventing more goals than any other shot-stopper in the division and keeping the most clean sheets. However, he cost United valuable points against Forest.
A look at his match stats proves he had his worst performance of the season.

What Shay Given said about Andre Onana’s disaster display
During BBC’s Match of the Day, former Premier League goalkeeper Shay Given gave his verdict on Onana’s mistakes, and described one as “farcical”.
On his mistake for the Gibbs-White goal, Given said: “It was a poor goal to concede, I’ll try and stick up for him as part of the goalkeeper union but it’s very difficult if I’m being brutally honest.
“Obviously Gibbs-White picks it up at the edge of the box and you can see from his shot that he [Onana] has a clear view of it. It does move a little bit in Onana’s defence but he should be saving this, there’s no getting away from it.”

Given then talks about an incident in injury time, where Onana took close to a minute to take a single free-kick after beign ordered by the referee several times to move it back to it’s original location.
On that, he said: “This is in injury time, this is farcical and sums his day up. In his defence he’s probably been one of United’s best players this season, but this is stuff of old.”
