Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United highlights and reaction as Anthony Elanga scores winner

Anthony Elanga came back to haunt former club Manchester United at the City Ground on Tuesday night, scoring the winner in a 1-0 triumph for Nottingham Forest.

The Swede, who swapped Old Trafford for the City Ground in July 2023, settled the game after just five minutes, firing past Andre Onana at the end of a blistering counter-attack.

The winger carried the ball from deep inside his own half before scoring from just inside the box. He was a constant threat throughout the evening, reminding United what they let go.

United, to their credit, created plenty of chances either side of half-time and on another night would have taken something from the game. Diogo Dalot hit the bar in the first half with a header before Harry Maguire had an effort cleared off the line with virtually the last kick of the game.

Nevertheless, Ruben Amorim's side are still yet to win back-to-back Premier League games this season. Next up for them is Sunday's Manchester derby against City at Old Trafford.
