Nottingham Forest struggled to create many chances, and their midfielder Douglas Luiz suffered an injury in the early stages of the game.

As the game progressed, Elliot Anderson became more influential, but Šeško continued to have the best chances to score. He was unable to control passes from Bryan Mbeumo and Luke Shaw, which could have resulted in goals.

Matz Sels made a crucial save to deny Amad Diallo after a well-coordinated United attack. Shortly after, a disputed corner kick led to Casemiro scoring a deserved opening goal, his fifth goal against Nottingham Forest in eight appearances.

Manchester United's Callum Hudson-Odoi had a speculative long-range shot at the end of the first half, but it was a poor representation of the team's overall performance.

The second half saw Nottingham Forest dominate possession and create several scoring opportunities. They scored twice in quick succession, with Morgan Gibbs-White heading in a cross from Ryan Yates and Nicolò Savona scoring from a poor defensive marking.

Manchester United attempted to mount a comeback, but their efforts were unsuccessful as Nottingham Forest maintained their lead. The hosts sat back, but ultimately failed to clear a corner, allowing Amad Diallo to equalize with a left-footed volley.

Both teams had chances to win the game in the final minutes, but the draw was a fair result considering the match's ebbs and flows.

The result meant that Manchester United were unable to win consecutive away games this season, with their last away win coming in their previous match.
