Ten Hag’s project got stalled after a horrible 2-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest

Manchester United suffered a painful defeat against Nottingham Forest in City Ground.

Manchester United suffered a horrible 2-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest in the City Ground Stadium on the twentieth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League season, where the Ten Hag’s team completed a disastrous performance and conceded severe errors in their defense well profited by their rival.

After a first half where the Red Devils were really consistent in their defense but absolutely inefficient in the final third of the field, the goals appeared in the second half thanks to severe errors from both teams that strongly penalized the Ten Hag’s side, which ended up reopening the unendable crisis lived this season by the Mancunian institution.

The locals opened the scoring at the 64th through the Argentine attacker Nico Dominguez, who finished without opposition a great assist by his compatriot Gonzalo Montiel, and the visitors responded with a goal by Rashford in the 78th after being assisted by Garnacho, who profited a great error from Nottingham's keeper.

Ten Hag’s position will be under discussion during the Premier League’s break

Ten Hag’s side went up front trying to get the winning goal and they left big gaps in defense, which caused big trouble for the Ten Hag’s team in their own box, as Gibbs-White curled in the 82nd a superb shot into the corner on the counter-attack to seal Nottingham’s win and United’s ninth defeat in 20 games this season. The result doesn’t help the Red Devils nor their coach, whose position at the club will be irremediably under discussion during the Premier League’s winter break.
