Nottingham Forest boss Nuno thanked fans after their 2-1 win against Manchester United.

Forest deserved the win on the night.

The manager said: "We have to thank the fans. They were amazing. We know the atmosphere at the City Ground can help the players get a boost.

"I am so happy for the fans because they can go home and keep celebrating. I told the players 'let's enjoy the moment'. Performances like this deserve to be celebrated.

"I think we played good. In the first half we controlled the game but didn't create many chances. We controlled Manchester United, we know where they have quality. It's about being together. The players did well.

"We had shots in the first half but needed more accuracy. I think the second half it changed, we created more and then the first goal is a good combination and a fantastic finish. We conceded but its my responsibility. You can say Matt [Turner] did not do well, but they tried to play with the idea. The way the players bounced back from that moment showed their character. Knowing every moment in the game is special. Not only with the ball but without the ball.

"We show it's important to compete no matter who we face. Credit to the players because it's only early days. We have only been here 11 days."
