'Amorim will find it increasingly difficult if Utd keep conceding like they have'published at 20:15 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December
FT: Man Utd 2-3 Nottingham Forest
Phil Jones
Former Manchester United defender on Sky SportsI think he's [Ruben Amorim] got a clear identity of how he wants to play, I think he's got a clear message of how he wants every individual player to be in possession, out of possession, that will take time. He's alluded to the fact that it will take time to implement his style and the way he wants to go about things.
But I do think if you're going to concede goals like they have and set plays then they're going to find it increasingly difficult.
'It's not an ideal situation'published at 20:12 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December
Man Utd 2-3 Nottm Forest
Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund speaking to Sky Sports:
"Annoying goals of course, we need to do better, specifically on corners, we've conceded too much now but I'm sure we'll improve.
"I think maybe the opponent was thinking [we lacked confidence at corners]. I think it's more about us being in a new position, new ideas, new set-piece coach, but we need to understand his ideas.
"It's a lot to take in but we need to deal with it, we are Manchester Unted and we need to do better.
"There's a lot of games left but it's not an ideal situation, but we need to try and stay positive."
'It's a moment to celebrate'published at 20:10 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December
Man Utd 2-3 Nottm Forest
Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo told Sky Sports:
"We spend a lot of time on training ground practicing set-pieces
"The only thing I think we should have done better was on counter-attacks, not the threats but finishing them off. The second half was about trying to close down the game."
On Chris Wood, who became Forest's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League:
"We are very thankful we have Chris with us. It's his birthday today, 33, it means a lot to have him as an example to the young lads.
"I'm very proud of the way we work together, build things together, from the owner to everyone else in the club. It's a moment to celebrate. But for me, I'm thinking about Aston Villa."

Phil Jones
Former Manchester United defender on Sky SportsI'd like to give him [Andre Onana] some credit and say the ball deviated a little bit but it's hardly a knuckle ball.
He should be saving it.
'It's very important to bounce back after bad result'published at 20:05 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December
FT: Man Utd 2-3 Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo told BBC Sport: "Not many things to be upset about. the boys did amazing. Scoring in the first action makes everything different. After that we were good.
"The belief of the players believing every action is important [is key to early goals]. The beginning of the second half was very good for us too. Compsure was good. The team is growing, improving. We still have things to address but it's nice.
"A tough time is about trying to get the details right. First half we were organised but allowing United to break to the wide areas. It's about adjusting details.
"It was a big ask for us to come to Manchester three days time after a tough game against City. The consistency of set-pieces gives you success.
"It's very important always to bounce back after a bad result. We didn't have a bad performance against City. Fresh leg made a difference during the game."
On Chris Wood: "He's doing amazing. We're so glad to have him. It's never too late."
'Forest were terrific today'published at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December
FT: Man Utd 2-3 Nottingham Forest
Phil Jones
Former Manchester United defender on Sky SportsNottingham Forest have done brilliantly this season. The way they set up when they go to the big teams, they did it at Liverpool, they really stifled them and closed the spaces down.
It's not just about their defensive structure, they have the ability to carry a threat on the counter as well and they did that today. I think they were terrific.
'What a performance by Forest'published at 20:01 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December
FT: Man Utd 2-3 Nottingham Forest
Izzy Christiansen
Former England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveThere were some fantastic goals, including from Bruno Fernandes to pull one back.
Overall, what a performance from Nottingham Forest. They had real authority, real craft and guile, hard work, dedication and a plan.
It's a brilliant result for them.

Man Utd 2-3 Nottm Forest
Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim speaking to Sky Sports:
On substitutions: "Bruno [Fernandes] was too tired and I wanted [Mason] Mount to play that position of second midfielder who opens a bit on the left.
"Josh [Zirkzee] plays with Rasmus [Hojllund] to have combinations, [Leny] Yoro goes off because we can't give him too many minutes.
"We put Harry Maguire on because of set-pieces, to control more who was winning all the first balls, the only way to attack Nottingham was transitions, to try and win first and second balls. When Harry was on the pitch he won all the first balls.
On a tough start to life at United:
"It's not a surprise becaues we come in the middle of a lot of games.
"It's really dissapointing for the fans, after so many times with dissapointment, but we are here to do a job and will continue doing the same things to imrpove the team."

BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at Old TraffordManchester United sporting director Dan Ashworth just walked through the media room, heading from one part of the stadium to another.
He kept his head down and didn't make eye contact with the journalists present.
Ashworth and the other United executives have a lot of work in front of them over the next weeks and months.
In an interview with the United We Stand fanzine that was on sale outside the ground today, co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said United had become a 'mediocre' club. Today was a mediocre performance.

Tom: A poor start for a new Manchester utd manager is actually giving me more hope that he can be the right man in the long term. No new manager bounce but he knows how much work he needs to put in
Dan: Brilliant game of football. Goals, near misses, VAR not ruining the fun; just top entertainment. Fernandes being subbed off the main talking point for me; he was the best player United had out there and I thought he had another goal in him.
'United weren't aggressive enough at set pieces'published at 19:50 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December
FT: Man Utd 2-3 Nottingham Forest
Phil Jones
Former Manchester United defender on Sky SportsWhen we're talking about set pieces I think we can be overanalytical these days and go into so much detail until we're almost blue in the face. Ultimately, go and attack the ball, be aggressive and get first contact on the ball. United didn't do that enough today.

FT: Man Utd 2-3 Nottm Forest
Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim told BBC Sport: "Tough game. We started really bad, the first play we suffered a goal and then it's hard to try to fight. We then controlled the game and had a lot of situations.
"We improved the movement in the last third. We managed to draw the game and then at half-time we were ready to go for the win and then started really bad. Two goals. Then we tried a lot of things with not a lot of quality.
"We didn't have many situations to score.
"Tough game in a tough moment but we have to continue the job.
"This is a long journey. We are improving in some aspects.
"We have to win games to help us improve the team.
"We are in the start of something so big that we pay attention to every detail. We already know it's a big job so we have to continue."

Ruben Amorim has lost a home league match for the first time since February 2023, when he was in charge of Sporting CP (1-2 v FC Porto), having won each of his last 23 such games prior to today.
He has also lost back-to-back top-flight matches for just the second time in his managerial career.

Izzy Christiansen
Former England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveWhat an absolutely brilliant game of football for the neutral. It was end-to-end, entertaining, goals, drama and excellent bits of play.
It was thoroughly deserved from Nottingham Forest, that is them back to their best and back to the form we've seen this season already.
Their players put in an absolute shift, especially in midfield with Elliot Anderson and Ryan Yates.
Their fans are in heaven right now, the noise from their end is deafening.

Alan: Doesn't matter how many managers you throw at United, if you don't have the players it's never going to get any better.
Justin: Ugarte - no left foot, not good enough. Mason Mount is awful. Rashford is past it. Dalot is average at best. I'm not even a United fan but this is sad to watch.
Tim: Even taking the Arsenal defeat as read, United are heading for 4 points from 9 under Amorim from Ipswich, Everton and Forest. Hardly a step change from Ten Hag....

Nottingham Forest fans are rightly savouring this famous win and will no doubt be celebrating long into the night. It has taken them a couple of seasons but they look a decent Premier League side now capable of taking games to the established bigger sides.

Erling Haaland's goal makes him the Premier League's joint top scorer this season
Pep Guardiola said he was proud of his Manchester City players in the draw at Crystal Palace that extended their rocky run to one win in nine games.
The champions twice came from behind as they took a point at Selhurst Park.
City's win over Nottingham Forest in midweek failed to herald the start of them rediscovering consistent form - and Palace may consider themselves unlucky not to have won Saturday's game.
Oliver Glasner's side led after just four minutes when Will Hughes picked out wing-back Daniel Munoz in plenty of space to drive in the opening goal.
They had chances to extend their lead before Erling Haaland jumped well to head in Matheus Nunes' cross to level.
Another defender put Palace ahead, with Hughes' corner being headed in by Maxence Lacroix.
However, City salvaged some reward from their Selhurst Park visit when Bernardo Silva found Rico Lewis, who fired a fine effort into the top corner from the edge of the box.
Lewis was later sent off for two bookings, the second for a foul on Trevoh Chalobah.
"We'll take the point," said Guardiola. "I'm incredibly proud of the players, how they fought, came back twice and difficult conditions."
City are eight points behind leaders Liverpool, having played a game more than Arne Slot's side, while Palace are four points above the relegation zone.
Speaking about their injuries, Guardiola told BBC Sport: "It's a season to suffer.
"We cannot talk about the title race when we lost four games in a row and now we draw. We'll try to win the next game and recover people. We'll see in the last month."
Magic not back yet for City
City showed incredible fight - Guardiola
Manchester City's iffy spell of form has extended to one win, the 3-0 victory over Forest on Wednesday, in nine matches - a run going back to the end of October.
There was plenty to be concerned about here.
Kyle Walker was found wanting for both Palace goals. He kept Munoz onside for the first and was beaten far too easily in the air by Lacroix for the second.
Stefan Ortega, preferred in goal to Ederson for the third game in a row, might have done better with the opener too as he let it go through his body.
Had it not been for Ruben Dias making four good blocks to stop Palace shots, it could have been even worse before Haaland popped up for his 13th Premier League goal of the season - but only his third since September.
Lewis has enjoyed playing against Palace, with all three of his Premier League goals coming against the Eagles. But he will not have enjoyed his sending-off, with the first card for dissent and the second for a foul in the closing minutes.
City did have other chances too with Haaland blasting the ball at the head of goalkeeper Dean Henderson when through on goal, and Ilkay Gundogan volleying over the post. But they had fewer shots than Palace.
And City were left furious at the end when the referee blew for full-time just as they were launching a dangerous attack.
Two more big games are coming up for City as they visit Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday and host rivals Manchester United next Sunday.
Can Guardiola get his team to rediscover their swagger?
Palace picking up form?
Palace boss Glasner has mixed feelings after draw with Man City
Palace are now unbeaten in four games - although three of them have been draws.
There were plenty of positive signs from this contest that suggest they can climb the table.
Hughes had one of his highly influential games with two fantastic assists for Palace defenders.
His ball was terrific to pick out Munoz, for the Colombian's second goal in three games, and his corner was perfect to reach the head of Lacroix for his first goal in English football.
Palace had 13 attempts to City's 12 and Eberechi Eze, Jefferson Lerma and Hughes each twice had shots blocked by City defender Dias.
In the end, a draw was the fair result.
"We are pleased with the point and many parts of the performance. It feels like if we'd performed at our best level we could have won the game," Palace boss Glasner told BBC Sport.
"The players are in a very good situation and shape. We have more and more options. The results give us confidence."

Match Facts
Crystal Palace have won just two of their last 18 Premier League games against Man City (D4 L12), with both of those victories coming at the Etihad Stadium (December 2018 and October 2021).
Manchester City have won seven of their last nine Premier League away games against Crystal Palace (D2), since a 2-1 defeat in April 2015.
Since Pep Guardiola joined Man City in 2016, Crystal Palace have scored multiple goals against the Citizens in six different Premier League games – only Tottenham (9) have done so more in this time.
Having won five of their seven Premier League home games under Oliver Glasner last season (D1 L1), Crystal Palace have won just one of their seven at Selhurst Park so far this season (D3 L3).
