Man Utd midfielder Eriksen: Forest defeat two steps back

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen says defeat at Nottingham Forest was 'two steps back'

United lost 2-1 at the City Ground on Saturday night.

Eriksen later said: "This season in general has been one step forward and two steps back and it felt like that today. Our aim was to get three points so it's definitely disappointing to come away with zero.

"We tried our best but sometimes the luck and the better decisions in the final third, the better defending and the small details don't happen.

"We had our chances. They had a lot less but scored them. At the moment we don't. We need a few chances to score goals and it makes things more difficult.

"Everyone is just trying to get goals to help the team. We are in the situation to score but at the moment it won't go in.

"Things will heal and get better. There's only one way forward and that's to work hard. Sometimes it goes against us. As a footballer you want the best game every day but the only way to do that is to work."

Do you believe things will get better? "Yes, I do believe that, yes."
