A former Manchester United star has insisted that he likes \u201cwatching\u201d one Premier League talent after Ruben Amorim\u2019s men suffered their defeat to Nottingham Forest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest hosted Manchester United at City Ground<\/a> on Tuesday evening and Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s men ensured all three Premier League points on the night.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim\u2019s<\/a> side fell behind only five minutes into the Premier League clash after Anthony Elanga<\/a> broke the deadlock with a stunning solo effort at City Ground.<\/p>\n

Anthony Elanga carried the ball from his own half and the 22-year-old Swedish talent singlehandedly completed Forest\u2019s counterattack against United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The former United man showed incredible pace, strength and tenacity before he drove a powerful low shot past Andre Onana<\/a> into the bottom corner of the net.<\/p>\n

Amorim\u2019s men were unable to rally back against Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s side and United were left chasing the match against Forest<\/a> after conceding early on.<\/p>\n

United are 13th in the Premier League table under Amorim and the Red Devils have only won 10 league matches from 30 fixtures in the 2024-25 campaign.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have only eight league matches remaining this season and United are currently on course for their worst finish in the Premier League era.<\/p>\n

Anthony Elanga\u2019s run at Old Trafford<\/a> came to an end in 2023 after Manchester United sold the Swedish forward to Nottingham Forest for a fee of around \u00a315m.<\/p>\n

The Sweden international has impressed in the 2024-25 season at Nottingham Forest and has been a key first-team player for manager Nuno Espirito Santo.<\/p>\n

Elanga has netted six times and registered nine assists in 34 matches this season and the Forest attacker\u2019s performance caught the eye of Gordon Hill.<\/p>\n

Former United and England winger Gordon Hill took to social media platform X<\/a>, formerly known as Twitter, and waxed lyrical about Elanga\u2019s display on the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike watching [Elanga],\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cA player I would not have got rid of, especially with that left foot. So, deceiving. And can balance a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gordon Hill sends Ruben Amorim a brutal assessment of Man Utd\u2019s performance vs Nottingham Forest in the Premier League defeat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking on X<\/a>, Gordon Hill wasted no time dropping his clear-cut verdict over the Red Devils\u2019 poor showing in the final third at City Ground on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust watching the [Man] Utd game v Forrest, Utd just cannot finish, full stop,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they expect to get a result they have to finish, and not leave it to one player, Forrest have played and attacked well, and got a great goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut [they] cannot be let to run the field to score.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim\u2019s men will now host the Manchester derby at Old Trafford<\/a> on Sunday afternoon, with kick-off for United vs Manchester City slated for 4:30pm UK time.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A former Manchester United star has insisted that he likes \u201cwatching\u201d one Premier League talent after Ruben Amorim\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1695,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1099,1100,101,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-1694","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-anthony-elanga","9":"tag-gordon-hill","10":"tag-premier-league","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114271845544808234","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
