Man Utd beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 at Old Trafford and whilst there were deficiencies at the back, there was cause for optimism in attack
It was far from perfect but Manchester United got the result, if not the performance, they needed against Nottingham Forest.
The return of Christian Eriksen did little to plug the holes around Casemiro. The display provided more questions than answers from a defensive viewpoint. He vindicated that decision with two telling contributions - the driving run past Serge Aurier to set up Eriksen for 2-1 and the similarly-direct drive into the box which tempted Danilo into a clumsy challenge.
Hojlund will need time to adapt to the Premier League but Rashford's performance on the left makes his introduction should give fans more hope as they envisage darting runs from Rashford followed by six-yard box predatory finishes from Hojlund.
