Morgan Gibbs-White won’t discredit Andre Onana but admitted he thought the opposition goalkeeper would have saved his effort in their 3-2 win at Manchester United.
“I didn’t think we’d get the goal, to be honest,” the 24-year-old England attacking midfielder said after the game at Old Traford. “
I don’t want to discredit Andre Onana because he’s a great goalkeeper but when I scored the goal I thought he would have taken it.”
The result cut Forest’s distance from the top four to two points and manager Nuno Espirito Santo thought Gibbs-White’s strike was hugely influential.
“If I had to choose the moment that changed everything in the game it was when we won the ball up top and scored the second goal,” the Portuguese added. “
Then we scored another one. ยูฟ่าเบท We thought United would respond but the important thing was the togetherness and the hard work. “
It was a high-energy game and the freshness of the players helped us a bit. We were brave, particularly in the second half, to get a really meaningful result.”
Manchester United were beaten 3-2 by Nottingham Forest as Ruben Amorim lost for the first time at Old Trafford.
Nikola Milenkovic headed Forest in front inside two minutes but United responded through Rasmus Hojlund only to gift the lead back to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side early in the second half following a bizarre piece of goalkeeping by Andre Onana.
