MANCHESTER, England -- It didn't go the way Erik ten Hag drew it up but maybe the manner of Manchester United's victory over Nottingham Forest was just what they needed. Going down two goals inside four minutes is never part of the plan but, roared on by the Old Trafford crowd, they found a response that Ten Hag can only hope will breathe some life into a start to the season which has been underwhelming at best.
Quite how United have only lost one of their opening three games is a mystery, and the biggest positive is that they've somehow got six points when it could have been zero.
