Despite controlling the ball up to 69% and having 6 shots on target, MU still could not score against Forest. Striker Rasmus Hojlund was brought on at the beginning of the second half to replace Manuel Ugarte, but did not leave any mark on Forest's solid defense.

Sofascore statistics show that Hojlund's expected goals (xG) against Forest was only 0.03, less than a center-back who came on to play the role of a makeshift striker like Harry Maguire (0.59). This statistic quickly attracted the attention of netizens.

One fan commented on X: "This can't be true. Hojlund can't be as dangerous as a centre-back?" Another wrote: "This says a lot about the attacking players United have." Another fan sarcastically said: "That's the striker that cost us £70m?"

In the 45 minutes against Forest, Hojlund did not have a shot. He touched the ball 16 times and created only one goal-scoring opportunity for his teammates. The Danish striker only ended a 21-game goalless streak on March 17 against Leicester City.

Since joining from Atalanta, Hojlund has made a total of 82 appearances for United, scoring 24 goals, including 13 in the Premier League.

The defeat to Forest hurt MU fans, as this was the first time since 1992 that the "Red Devils" lost both matches against this opponent. Under the leadership of Ruben Amorim, MU only had 6 wins after 19 matches in the Premier League.

Bruno Fernandes shined on the day MU won big against Leicester. In the early morning of March 17, Bruno scored 1 goal and 2 assists to help MU defeat host Leicester 3-0 in round 29 of the Premier League.
