Nottingham Forest saw their unbeaten run go up in smoke after a shocker of a decision from referee Michael Salisbury.
The referee went back on a VAR review to stick with his original decision, with Gary Neville calling the decision shocking, even as a Manchester United fan.
If Elliot Anderson is worth £120m then how much is Morgan Gibbs-White worth after that performance?
Wow! ⭐
Forest’s goals came through Morato and Morgan Gibbs-White, and despite losing 3-2, the Reds can once again be proud of their performance.
The talk ahead of the game was centred around Gibbs-White and his potential inclusion in this summer’s England squad, with two pundits having their say.

Roy Keane and Micah Richards disagree on Morgan Gibbs-White
Talk of whether Gibbs-White will go to the World Cup or not is rife ahead of Friday’s squad reveal.
Given that he was left out of the March internationals, Gibbs-White might have already given up hope of impressing Thomas Tuchel, but his form dictates that he’s desperate to change his mind.
Keane thinks Gibbs-White has a good chance of going to the tournament, given how good he’s been for Forest.
Keane said on Sky Sports: “Yeah, I like him, he’s done extremely well, he’s clearly so talented. With the chopping and changing of managers and having Europe, he’s embraced it, and on form, he’s got a really good chance.”
Richards disagreed with Keane, however, saying: “Yeah, he’s in form, but I just don’t think he goes; the players he’s up against have a higher ceiling, that’s all.”
Gibbs-White has done pretty much everything he possibly can to get in contention for England this summer.
Okay, he might not have been superb all this season, but since the turn of the year, he’s been magnificent and is once again the top-scoring Englishman in the Premier League.
😤How on earth has Manchester United’s second goal stood against Nottingham Forest?!
A complete and utter disgrace!
Gibbs-White has carried Forest to safety pretty much single-handedly, and he richly deserves to be on the plane, certainly ahead of Cole Palmer and Phil Foden, who are badly out of form.
It’s intriguing that Keane and Richards disagree on where Gibbs-White is in the pecking order and now the ball is firmly in the court of Thomas Tuchel.
