Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim has explained why his team lost to visiting Nottingham Forest on Saturday night at Old Trafford.
Speaking with BBC after the encounter, the Portuguese tactician admitted that his team did not do enough to beat Forest on the day.
Man United suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time under Amorim, losing 3-2 to Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.
Goals from Nikola Milenkovic, Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood moved Forest up to fifth place, with Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes getting on the scoresheet for the Red Devils.

The result, however, leaves Man United in 13th place, 10 points above relegation places.
Speaking after the match Amorim said: “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.”
