Manchester United’s dismal season hit a new low on Tuesday as they suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Anthony Elanga, a former Manchester United player, scored the only goal of the game in the fourth minute, securing a vital win for Forest and dealing a significant blow to United’s already fading hopes.

Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, have secured the league double over Manchester United and moved closer to qualifying for the Champions League.
