Early morning of April 2 (Vietnam time), Man United lost 0-1 to Nottingham Forest in round 30 of the Premier League. Conceding an early goal, the "Red Devils" then played aggressively but did not create many scoring opportunities. After the match, coach Ruben Amorim praised the team. He said Man United was the better team.

"I think we controlled the game. We knew Nottingham Forest could score from unexpected situations. After they scored, the home team played the football they love, which is counter-attacking.

However, we tried and succeeded in pushing the opponent into the final third. Man United had some good chances. But the crosses, passes and shots in the final third were lacking in quality. Therefore, we could not score," said coach Ruben Amorim.

There were at least 2 dangerous opportunities towards the home team's goal created by Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire. However, the goal still did not appear for the "Red Devils".

"This is a familiar scenario for us this season," added coach Amorim. The 40-year-old strategist spoke about Elanga's only goal when the former Man United player sprinted for about 80m before firing a shot past goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Coach Ruben Amorim affirmed that Man Utd's remaining goal is to win the Europa League, where they set the main goal of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Before thinking about the Europa League quarter-final against Lyon on April 10, Man United will meet Man City at Old Trafford on April 6.
