Highlights: Watch Full highlights Man United 3-2 Nottingham forest | Unbelievable Man united comeback

Goals from Christian Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes turned it around as Joe Worrall was sent off for Forest.

Manchester United came from two goals down inside four minutes to win 3-2 against 10-player Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.

Goals from Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly had stunned United and given Steve Cooper’s side an excellent opportunity to claim their first away win in the Premier League since January but Christian Eriksen pulled one back and those hopes disappeared in the second half.

Casemiro levelled and when Joe Worrall was sent off for a foul on Bruno Fernandes, the momentum proved irresistible. The United captain scored the winner from the penalty spot after Marcus Rashford was fouled by Danilo. A dramatic win for Erik ten Hag’s team.

“It is a horror start giving them two goals and of course making mistakes but I am very pleased with the comeback,” said the United head coach afterwards. “There is a good spirit and energy in the team. They found a way to win.”
