00:00Full time for the City ground where Manchester United have lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
00:07Former Red, Anthony Alanga, with the only goal of the game.
00:12A game that will haunt Manchester United, not just because he's one of the former players.
00:16How easy it was for him to run through their entire side really and give aside an early lead in a match.
00:24You can hear fireworks going off behind me.
00:26That is how monumental this win is for Nottingham Forest, who held on in the end to withstand the United siege
00:34to gain another three points in their pursuit of Champions League qualification.
00:39Another important victory for them, even though United were probably quite improved on recent performances.
00:46Ruben Amiri made four changes to the side. They defeated Leicester prior to the international break.
00:51Yoro warned those who came back into the side, along with Patrick Dorgou, Casemiro and Joshua Xherxey,
00:58who was selected up front instead of Rasmus Voigtland.
01:01Although it only took until half time for Voigtland to be brought back on into the match.
01:06Such was United's lack of attacking threat throughout the first half.
01:10Like we said, it was a game in which United were better. They controlled the ball well.
01:14They posed a decent threat against the Forest back line, but they just never looked like scoring a goal really.
01:20United tried and threw out from that Forest really, but there was never really any goal threat.
01:26Garnaccio had a really tough game in the front line. He was frustrated. His decision making was poor.
01:31He was frustrated and just made the wrong decisions really.
01:35Xherxey isn't a striker. That isn't news to anyone. There's a reason United want to sign another forward this summer.
01:40Xherxey shouldn't really have started the game if you want to score goals.
01:43It was no surprise when Voigtland was finally brought on at half time.
01:46Tudor Obi was involved for the youth team in the Youth Cup on Monday night, so he wasn't available for selection.
01:52Amerin might wonder whether he would have been worth putting on the bench, just so they did have someone else in the closing minutes.
01:58Instead, it was Harry Maguire who was brought on. Five minutes left, United bombarded the Forest goal.
02:03Maguire somehow almost scored, but didn't. The ball was cut across and he headed wide from basically on the line.
02:10That sort of summed up United's misfortune today.
02:13Like I said, Amerin will take some positives from it. It was an improved performance against one of the better sides in the Premier League.
02:19But we've seen this so often for United this season. They can't up their game against the better teams.
02:24Forest, I know they've got history, but might not be in modern times up there with the likes of Liverpool, City and Arsenal.
02:31But right now, this season, they are the team that should be in the Champions League next season.
02:35United were able to rally against them, but invariably didn't find a way to get that equalising goal and to get what would have been an important point.
02:42It means United haven't won consecutive games in the Premier League all season.
02:46It means that Ruben Amerin, once again, has problems to solve.
02:51United back in action when they host Man City in the Derby this weekend.
02:55But it doesn't really matter what happens in the Premier League. United are still in the Europa League.
02:59They're in the quarterfinals against Lyon. And if they win that and win that competition, they will be back in the Champions League alongside Nottingham Forest next season.
03:07There was a gulf between the sides on the scoreline, but to be fair on the pitch, United gave as good as they got.
03:13They probably would have deserved a draw. They didn't get one, but they could still be playing alongside Forest in the Champions League next season.
03:19And that is the one aim for the remainder of the campaign.
