Nottingham Forest went to Manchester United on Saturday and caused quite a stir against the Red Devils.
The Reds won 3-2 – against the odds – and piled on the misery for new United boss Ruben Amorim as he tries to revive the club.
Nikola Milenkovic, Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood all scored for Forest who could have scored even more goals just after half-time.
Nuno Espirito Santo has wowed Jamie Redknapp already this season and the Forest head coach is doing some really good work with the team.
Milenkovic earned praise for his efforts from Robbie Earle but there is one Forest star who simply continues going unnoticed it would seem.

Robbie Mustoe loves watching Forest star Ryan Yates
The Forest captain was once again in the team at Old Trafford, leading the team to a very positive result in the North West.
Yates is still striving for consistency but against United, he did the basics pretty well and got Forest over the finish line with some decent defensive stuff.
Mustoe is a huge fan of watching Yates it would seem and he’s delivered praise on him after the win at Old Trafford.

He told The 2 Robbies Podcast: “It goes back to recruitment. Whether it’s Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Anthony Elanga.
“Whether it’s Chris Wood, or even others who have been there for a while like Ryan Yates, I absolutely love watching him play, he’s an all-action sort, a brilliant player for the club.”
Yates in numbers vs Manchester United
Who Scored showed that Yates won more headers than any other players during Saturday’s win, with the captain successful in five aerial duels.
He also had the second-best pass accuracy after Callum Hudson-Odoi with 82.1% of his 28 passes finding those in blue shirts.
Defensively, Yates has contributed more in other games this season but nonetheless, he did complete three clearances during the 90 minutes he played.
The midfielder is taking his chance to play regularly at the moment and as the season progresses he will hope to receive even more plaudits.
