Overview
- Manchester United and Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 at the City Ground, with Casemiro (34') and Amad Diallo (81') scoring for United and Morgan Gibbs-White (48') plus Nicolo Savona (50') netting for Forest.
- The result ended United’s three-match Premier League winning run, with Ruben Amorim’s side remaining unbeaten under him in the league and sitting seventh.
- Sean Dyche condemned the decision to award the corner preceding Casemiro’s goal and urged that VAR be allowed to review such incidents, noting Forest felt the ball never went out.
- Alan Shearer accepted the assistant’s call looked wrong but argued against extending VAR to corner or line decisions, saying officials must avoid guessing from distance.
- Amorim explained he made no attacking changes because he trusted the players on the pitch, later replacing Diogo Dalot with Patrick Dorgu, and said the comeback highlighted improved resilience from last season.
