RUBEN AMORIM suffered horror on his honeymoon as Forest plundered victory to punish Manchester United's more meek defense.
Match report
Three days after Amorim's first defeat in charge at Arsenal, the Red Devils' fine record at Old Trafford collapsed.
Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes fired in in vain for the Red Devils after Forest started each half spectacularly.
United suffered another setback from a set piece, with Nikola Milenkovic heading in his first Forest goal from a corner in the third minute.
But Hojlund scored a deserved equalizer after Matz Sels could only parry Alejandro Garnacho's low shot on target.
However, Forest conjured up a start to the second half that was even brighter and sharper than that of the first.
Bruno Fernandes lost possession and Morgan Gibbs-White hit a long-range clearance that deceived Andre Onana and restored the visitors' lead.
Chris Wood then headed Forest 3-1 up after 54 minutes, albeit with Lisandro Martinez among the United defenders who could have done a better job of keeping the ball out.
However, just seven minutes later, Amad Diallo followed up a fine point by crossing the ball to Fernandes, who whipped home a right-footed shot from the top corner to set up an enthralling final quarter of the match.
