Nuno Espirito Santo spoke to BBC Sport after Nottingham Forest's victory against Manchester United: "Not many things to be upset about. the boys did amazing. Scoring in the first action makes everything different. After that we were good.

"The belief of the players believing every action is important [is key to early goals]. The beginning of the second half was very good for us too. Compsure was good. The team is growing, improving. We still have things to address but it's nice.

"A tough time is about trying to get the details right. First half we were organised but allowing United to break to the wide areas. It's about adjusting details.

"It was a big ask for us to come to Manchester three days time after a tough game against City. The consistency of set-pieces gives you success.

"It's very important always to bounce back after a bad result. We didn't have a bad performance against City. Fresh leg made a difference during the game."

On Chris Wood: "He's doing amazing. We're so glad to have him. It's never too late."
