Man U were a brilliant side in those days and Forest were struggling (clearly!). It's swing and roundabouts though: there's been more than a couple of occasions when Forest have whooped Man U (for example, by 4-0 in 1990). TBF, Forest have won the last 2 PL games against Man U. And Man U are currently more in trouble than Forest (Dec 2024).

This was the Man Utd I grew up with. I turned 11 in 1999, and look at us now, Forest beat us at Old Trafford. How things change eh?
It's been said about Ole Gunnar, the United attackers practised attacking, he practised scoring goals. Like in this match.
Ron Atkinson's "They got 8 lucky breaks" is what springs to mind when I see this.
Ron Atkinson said he was delighted to take part in a 9 goal thriller!!
He is a legend by that alone
He also sat on the wrong bench 😂

Very true facts as they are
When is the last time forest won anything though ?
I love Ole'
he was phenomenal
One of utd's greatests
One of the best strikers we've had. An absolute bargain too, £1.5m!
This was the first football match I ever went to, slightly hairy as a Utd fan but as a child i don't think I noticed at the time
Forest did have a lot of chances in this game.
Definitely a Titans of my generation...
Every players shirt tucked in
high end discipline
Baby faced assassin great player
When do the days come back?
when United doing the United things.
very entertaining
Could have gone either way....
Original ????
8-1😱
Yes, it was terrible
You mean that Man United should have scored more goals!
What an odd title
“Original” Man United ????
yes, under Si Alex
@ Surely the ‘original’ Man Utd team under Sir Alex would be the 1986 team wouldn’t it ?
Lol solksjaer 4 goals 😂
forest fans probably bought up their 70s european cups like its relevant
Hahaaa, so funny
Everyone else counts theirs don't they?
FOREST MIDFIELD AND DEFENCE WAS NON EXISTENT
hahaa, why
