Manchester United’s struggles continued as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday. The decisive goal came early, with former United winger Anthony Elanga scoring in the fifth minute after a swift counter-attack.

This loss marks United’s 13th defeat of the Premier League season, bringing them close to their record of 14 losses from the 2023-24 campaign. The team now sits in 13th place in the league standings.

Manager Ruben Amorim expressed urgency about the team’s need for improvement, acknowledging the high-pressure environment at Manchester United. He stated, “In Manchester United, you don’t have the time. I will not have the time. We have to get it right fast.”

Amorim also highlighted the team’s offensive challenges, noting a lack of quality in the attacking third. Despite controlling much of the game, United struggled to create significant scoring opportunities. Alejandro Garnacho, in particular, had multiple attempts but failed to convert.

The manager defended his tactical decisions, including the late introduction of defender Harry Maguire as an emergency forward. Amorim explained that Maguire’s aerial ability was a factor, especially given the team’s struggles to threaten Forest’s defense with traditional forwards.
