EPL: Man Utd lose five-goal thriller against Forest as Man City draw with Palace

Manchester United lost for the second time in a row under new manager Ruben Amorim as they fell against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

The Premier League game saw the Red Devils lost 3-2 to visiting Forest in a thrilling encounter at Old Trafford.

Super Eagles defender Ola Aina was in action for Forest, who capitalised on United’s defensive blunders to record their first win at Old Trafford in almost 30 years.

Nikola Milenković opened scoring in the second minute for Forest, Rasmus Hojlund equalised as both sides were level at halftime.

But Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood put Forest in control of the game early in the second half before Bruno Fernandes pulled a goal back on the hour mark.

Following on from their midweek loss at Arsenal, Amorim’s men picked their second successive losses in the league this season.

Amorim has won only one of his four league games in charge as his side remain 13th. Forest, in contrast, are up to fifth.

Earlier in the day, Manchester City came from behind twice to pick up a draw against Crystal Palace at the Selhurst Park.

In the other Premier League clashes at the weekend, Brentford thrashed Newcastle United 4-2 while Aston Villa pipped Southampton 1-0.
