Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has posted a defiant picture in the wake of a controversial decision not to award Nottingham Forest a penalty after the defender's handball during Sunday's game.
The Red Devils won 2-0 at the City Ground after goals from Antony and Diogo Dalot secured all three points for Erik ten Hag's team. The result moved United up to third in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Forest were left in the bottom three with Steve Cooper's side winless in their last 10 matches. The Reds last tasted victory in a 1-0 win over Leeds back in February.

But Sunday's game against Man United could have potentially turned out differently. Around 20 minutes into the game and with the score at 0-0, a Forest corner hit the arm of Maguire with the officials including VAR deciding that it was not a penalty.
And the 30-year-old has posted a picture on Instagram of him in action during Sunday's match. The image shows Maguire heading the ball whilst surrounded by Forest players with the caption 'MUFC' followed by a red dot.
Speaking in the aftermath of the game and the decision not to award the penalty, Reds boss Steve Cooper said: "Harry Maguire's was a definitely penalty (for handball).
"Then a second yellow card and red. A terrible decision.
"How have VAR not picked up on that? Another call and apology from them then, which won't help."
