Erik ten Hag criticises 'easy giveaways' from Man United in Nottingham Forest 3-2 win after his side went two down early on - but hails 'personality' team showed in comeback

Erik ten Hag has criticised his team's 'easy giveaways' as Manchester United got off to a horror start against Nottingham Forest, but he has praised his team's fighting spirit.

Taiwo Awoniyi scored on the counter after United made it all too easy for Forest to break from a corner just two minutes in, and a couple of minutes later it was 2-0 as Willy Boly headed in from a free-kick.

The ease with which Awoniyi ripped past Marcus Rashford, and the complete lack of defensive cover, signalled that the hosts were still weak against quick attacks down the centre, as they have been this season.
