Manchester United Held to 2-2 at Nottingham Forest as Amad’s Late Volley Preserves Unbeaten Run

The result highlighted United’s vulnerability to crosses during a period of improved form under Ruben Amorim.

Overview

  • Casemiro put United ahead before the break with a close-range header from a Bruno Fernandes delivery.
  • Forest overturned the lead with two rapid second-half strikes, as Morgan Gibbs-White headed in and Nicolò Savona finished after an Igor Jesus aerial challenge.
  • Amad Diallo rescued a point with a cleanly struck late volley from the edge of the box and later had a potential winner cleared off the line.
  • Ruben Amorim named Harry Maguire on the bench on his return from injury and started 19-year-old Leny Yoro on the right of a back three.
  • Post-match analysis praised Fernandes’ creativity (65 of 73 passes completed with four key passes) and questioned Diogo Dalot’s left-side delivery and Benjamin Sesko’s finishing, while broader coverage noted ongoing interest in Elliot Anderson and background discussion of Casemiro’s wages.
