Manchester United finally ground out a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.
The Red Devils took the lead in the first half when Casemiro nodded home from a corner.
A crazy opening five minutes of the second half saw United go 1-2 down when Morgan Gibbs-White and Nicolo Savana gave the Tricky Trees the lead.
United finally found an equaliser in the 81st minute when Amad spectacularly volleyed home in front of the away fans.
The Peoples Person asked its readers who impressed them the most during the game.
Casemiro
50% of United fans voted Casemiro as the player of the match.
The Brazilian has regained form this season and he is very much first choice midfielder alongside captain Bruno Fernandes.
He nodded in his third goal of the season and his second in two matches as he also scored against Brighton and Hove Albion the previous week.

Matthijs de Ligt
13% of readers felt that the Dutch defender was the best player on the pitch for the Red Devils.
The former Bayern man has been in incredible form this season and is arguably Ruben Amorim’s first choice defender.
De Ligt has been a physical specimen in games and he has rarely let attacking players for the opposition breathe over the course of the season.
Bryan Mbeumo
12% voted for Mbeumo as United’s best player on the afternoon.
As usual the Cameroonian was a threat to the opposition goal and a lot of United’s good work came through him. Nonetheless, he failed to score like he had done in his previous two matches for the Red Devils.
Senne Lammens
12% of readers felt that the Belgian keeper was the man of the match from a United perspective.
He did concede two goals but neither of them could be blamed on him.
Lammens also made a couple of good stops and United remain unbeaten with the young keeper in nets as his impressive start as United’s number one continues.
The rest
10% of the fanbase who voted chose someone who was not on the list, perhaps some thinking of Amad after his glorious strike.
Matheus Cunha was also one of the other options but he only received 3% of the overall vote.
