Ola Aina Shines As Nottingham Forest Down Manchester United At Old Trafford

Ola Aina, the Super Eagles star, played the full 90 minutes as Nottingham Forest secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. The match marked a strong bounce-back for Forest, who had suffered a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City earlier in the week.

Aina, who retained his place in the starting lineup after the City defeat, helped the team withstand pressure from the hosts throughout the match. His Nigerian teammate, Taiwo Awoniyi, started on the bench for Forest.

The game began with a bang for Nottingham Forest, who took the lead just two minutes in, thanks to a goal from Nikola Milenkovic. However, their advantage was short-lived as Rasmus Hjlund equalized for Manchester United in the 18th minute. The Red Devils dominated possession in the first half but were unable to find the back of the net again, and both teams went into the break at 1-1.

In the second half, Nottingham Forest came out with renewed energy and quickly regained the lead. Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood scored twice before the 54th minute, giving the visitors a 3-1 advantage.

Despite a late goal from Manchester United to reduce the deficit to 3-2, Forest held firm to secure a vital three points. The victory not only marked a strong response after their midweek loss but also demonstrated the team's resilience and attacking quality.
