Nottingham Forest took a shock 2-0 lead but Manchester United fought back to level and, after Joe Worrall’s red card, Bruno Fernandes’s penalty made it 3-2
Manchester United continue to lurch and flail through this early phase of the season. To scrap to a victory from 2-0 down may appear admirable but, in essence, Erik ten Hag’s men should never have allowed this deficit only four minutes in.
On this occasion they did – just about. The winner came from the one player Ten Hag can rely on – Bruno Fernandes, whose 76th-minute penalty beat Matt Turner to the goalkeeper’s right and came after Marcus Rashford claimed the kick by drawing Danilo into a clumsy foul on the right of his area.Download the Guardian app from the iOS App Store on iPhone or the Google Play store on Android by searching for 'The Guardian'.
Yet while this did not happen – André Onana beat out a late Willy Boly shot to ensure the win – United’s start was a disaster and a face. Cut to Casemiro imploring his teammates before the restart to retain their cool. Then cut to Casemiro ball-watching when Gibbs-White fired in a free-kick – needlessly conceded by Diogo Dalot – from the right, the Brazilian’s ponderousness allowing his jumper, Boly, to head in.
