David de Gea
Overcame an early injury scare to continue. Hardly had a save to make but got some punches in from crosses. 6
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Steady at right-back and involved in the final third without obviously contributing to attacks. Another good outing. 7
Victor Lindelof
Curiously marginalised since the season resumed and he enjoyed a dependable return to the side. Barely gave the Forest forwards a kick. 8

Harry Maguire
Was a walking disaster in the first 20 minutes when he was booked and he could have conceded a penalty but kept a clean sheet. 6
Diogo Dalot
Had to fill-in at left-back with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia absent. Made one error with an overhit touch but afforded Brennan Johnson no joy and scored nervelessly. 7
Casemiro
Provided balance as United's favoured midfield was reunited at the 11th hour and could have had an assist for Anthony Martial. 8
Christian Eriksen
Parachuted into the starting XI at less than 15 minutes' notice and he was United's best player in the first half. Continued to create in the second half. 8
Antony
The scorer of great goals who is not a great golascorer got his first in the Premier League since October to make it 1-0. Marvellous assist for Dalot. 8
Bruno Fernandes
Returned to the No.10 role when he had expected to start as a 6. Played in Anthony Martial to make United's goal possible but headed wide from Eriksen's cross. Unlucky to have a shot hit the bar. 8
Jadon Sancho
You can see why Erik ten Hag is losing patience with the winger. Spurned an easy chance in the first minute and did not challenge Neco Williams enough. 5
Anthony Martial
Did really well to regain the ball, make the run and shoot to force Keylor Navas into the save Antony tappied in from. Should have scored with his last touch. 6
Subs
Wout Weghorst
His decoy run opened up room for Dalot. 6
Fred
Came on to give Eriksen a breather. 6
Manager
Had to choose between Fred and Eriksen to replace Marcel Sabitzer and chose wisely. United easily contended with an XI of injured players. 8
