Anthony Elanga, the Swedish forward who left Manchester United in 2022, delivered a blistering revenge performance on Tuesday, firing Nottingham Forest to a historic 1-0 Premier League win over his former club. Running nearly two-thirds of the pitch like a man possessed, Elanga netted the game’s only goal just five minutes in—proving why Forest’s gamble on him is paying off big-time. 💨
United struggled to respond, with Diogo Dalot hitting the crossbar and Mason Mount missing a late chance. Fans groaned as the Red Devils’ attacking woes continued—they’ve now failed to score in five of their last seven matches. 😬
"The last pass, the final touch—it just wasn’t there," admitted United’s coach Ruben Amorim. "Forest punished us when it mattered."
Meanwhile, Forest’s fairytale season rolls on. Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad now sits third in the table, eyeing their first Champions League qualification since 1979. 🌟 Defender Murillo’s last-ditch clearance in stoppage time summed up their grit: all in for the dream.
For United? The loss leaves them languishing in 13th—a stark reminder of their chaotic season. As Elanga celebrated, the ghost of past signings (looking at you, Antony 👀) haunted Old Trafford’s halls.
