Harry Maguire had the last laugh to push Manchester United closer to a top-four finish and an immediate return to the Champions League.
Early on, this had all the hallmarks of a calamitous Maguire display. Booked inside three minutes for hauling back Taiwo Awoniyi, Maguire then put a simple pass - intended for Aaraon Wan-Bissaka – straight out of play.
Forest fans sensed the United skipper was vulnerable and wasted no time in trying to further unsettle the England defender, with gleeful chants of “Leicester reject” at the 30-year-old. Lesser players may have let the abuse get to them and crumble.
