Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has warned Nottingham Forest face a “very hard” task to stay in the Premier League after their defeat to Manchester United.
Keylor Navas and Felipe were among the players to impress for the Reds, who made a positive start to the game. However, Antony gave Man United the lead just after the half-hour mark, with Diogo Dalot doubling the away side’s advantage after the break, just as Forest were hoping to gain control at the City Ground.
Steve Cooper ’s side were left to rue their missed chances and saw two penalty appeals waved away as they attempted to earn a statement result on Sunday. Defeat leaves the Reds in the bottom three on goal difference and continue their 10-game winless run. Former Forest coach Hasselbaink believes the team will struggle to leapfrog another side in their bid for survival.
