Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim acknowledged that his team fell short in their efforts to secure a victory against Nottingham Forest in Saturday’s Premier League clash.
The Red Devils suffered a second consecutive defeat under Amorim, losing 3-2 to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
Nikola Milenkovic, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Chris Wood found the net for Forest, pushing them to fifth place on the table. Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes scored for United, who now sit 13th, 10 points above the relegation zone.
Speaking to BBC Sport after the match, Amorim reflected on the performance:
“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 halftime, 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.”
