Positives for Man United and Amorim, despite only taking a point. Comfortable in the first half, dealt well with the set-back of conceding twice in 90 seconds and had chances to win at the end. Probably a game they would have lost last season.

Man United looked comfortable and then Forest score twice in 92 seconds. Both come from crosses from the right. First one is a mis-match because Gibbs-White has peeled off onto Amad at the back post. Second one, United just don't deal with.

Sean Dyche is going berserk on the touchline. Doesn't think the ball has gone out of play when United are awarded a corner. Ball comes in and Casemiro scores. Man United lead 1-0.

Man United unchanged for trip to Forest. Harry Maguire back in the squad and on the bench.

Casemiro so important for Amorim. United have only conceded 3 goals this season while he's been on the pitch. None since the start of September. Of the 16 goals conceded in all comps, he's been off the pitch for 13. Both Brighton goals yesterday came after he'd been subbed.

Nothing comes easy for Manchester United, but Ruben Amorim's side still found a way to extend its winning run vs. Brighton.

That might be the best 45 minutes under Amorim. United leading 2-0, but could be three or four. Just need to finish the job.

Big deflection on Casemiro's goal, but made possible by Shaw being aggressive and winning the ball back high up. Amorim's plan working. United playing well.

A sign you're about to burn out: Everything annoys you. Small tasks feel huge. Easy decisions feel impossible. Sunday nights fill you with dread. You're always tired but can't sleep. You're successful but not happy. This is your warning. Rest isn't lazy. It's strategic. Burnout

One of either Welbeck or Rutter dropping very deep when Verbruggen has the ball. Being followed into midfield by either Shaw or De Ligt. Aggressive from Amorim, but it's leaving space for Brighton runners.

Mason Mount only fit enough to be among the substitutes. No Maguire in the squad.

Ruben Amorim’s win percentages. vs “big six”: 27.7% vs promoted sides: 83.3% vs everyone else: 16.7% Chance to start fixing that against Brighton at Old Trafford today. https://t.co/G9Zi8HuTW8

Ruben Amorim and Manchester United are flying high after beating Liverpool, but it's not the Big Six they should be most worried about.

Josko Gvardiol says Man City being written off after two defeats in August has “motivated” Pep Guardiola’s squad. Also believes their nine-game unbeaten run has reminded everyone that City are “still here.” https://t.co/Mb8f2Ic2Ye

Ruben Amorim has the same number of PL wins against the big six as he does against the middle 11 teams in the league. Liverpool was a big result, but there's an argument that Brighton on Saturday will be a better measure of Man United's progress. https://t.co/G9Zi8HvrLG

It had started to feel like a frustrating afternoon for Man City against Everton. Then, in the space of five minutes in the second half, Erling Haaland won the game. https://t.co/enpSXHCA9N

Saturday's 2-0 win demonstrated what an elite striker can do for your team as Erling Haaland's goals lifted Man City to a comfy win. With such a dominate scorer on your team, there's always a chance.

A much-needed good day for Man United and Ruben Amorim. https://t.co/6LGyT8mjU7

Man United's win over Sunderland is the kind head coach Ruben Amorim must dream about. But is it enough to ease the pressure on his job?

Another save and catch from Lammens. Stretford End singing "are you Schmeichel in disguise?"
