MU Club had to accept an unhappy scenario when for the first time since 1992, they lost to Nottingham Forest in both matches in the English National Championship, now the Premier League. Even more bitter, the one who brought sadness to the "Red Devils" was the old man, striker Elanga, a product trained by the club itself.

Away at the City Ground, MU did not hide their intention to seek a victory against Nottingham Forest to improve their current 13th position. However, coach Amorim's team was also soon led by the opponent who was having a rapidly rising season with a score of 1-0. Elanga showed how complete his quality was, when in a quick counter-attack, he used his speed to surpass many MU players to score in the 5th minute of the match.
After conceding an early goal, MU tried to regain the pressure against Nottingham Forest. They created many chances, but could not convert them into goals. Then they received another loss against an opponent who was on the rise and in the top 3 this season.
"I came to Nottingham Forest to play, I'm not a finished product. I learned a lot at MU. I really appreciate them. I'm enjoying my football and want to continue like that," striker Elanga told TNT Sports after the match.
Meanwhile, coach Amorim regretted: "We deserved to win, rather than draw. But we lost. We controlled the match better than Nottingham Forest. But we lacked quality in our finishing. This is a common scenario with MU this season. We lost 3 points that were not worth losing."

The defeat means that MU could face many problems in the rest of the season, as they still have only 37 points and are in 13th place after 30 matches. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest hold on to 3rd place with 57 points. They are right behind Arsenal, with the return of Bukayo Saka, winning 2-1 against Fulham to have 61 points and continue to chase the leader Liverpool (70 points).
Buy goals at the Bernabeu
On the same day, in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid had a spectacular escape from Real Sociedad thanks to a goal by centre-back Rudiger in the 115th minute to tie the score at 4-4.

The 4-4 draw helped Real Madrid advance to the Copa del Rey final with a 5-4 aggregate win. In the final, they will face Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, the two teams that also drew 4-4 in the first leg, and will play the second leg at 2:30 a.m. on April 3.
