Casemiro shone but Diogo Dalot struggled as Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw by Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. Ruben Amorim named an unchanged side for the first time in the league as their winning run finally came to an end.
Benjamin Sesko and Dan Ndoye both went close in the early exchanges, but it was Casemiro who opened the scoring when he headed in from a Bruno Fernandes corner to give his side the lead.
Forest responded well after the break and drew level when Morgan Gibbs-White headed in at the back-post after an excellent cross from Ryan Yates. It wasn't long before they had a second when Nicolo Savona prodded the ball in from close range after some poor defending.
Fernandes went close to an equaliser when he rifled a low effort against the post, while Igor Jesus nearly made it three for Forest when he sent an effort just wide at the back-post. United pushed for an equaliser and finally got one when Amad Diallo volleyed in a stunning effort from the edge of the box.
A draw was a fair result by full-time, and here is how we rated the United players at the City Ground:

9. Diogo Dalot - 3
Still not a comfortable fit in the left wing-back. His positioning was really poor throughout the match and he was twice beaten for the Forest goals. He cost his team. | Manchester United via Getty Images

10. Bryan Mbeumo - 7
The best United forward on the pitch. He created a few good chances for his side and looked dangerous whenever he got on the ball. | Manchester United via Getty Images

11. Matheus Cunha - 6
A combative performance and was happy to do the dirty work for his side. Not as influential as Mbeumo in the forward line. | Manchester United via Getty Images

12. Benjamin Sesko - 5
He was dangerous in attack and went close on several occasions. He also brought teammates into play with some good link-up play. Should have done better with the chances that fell his way. | Getty Images
