Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has explained his decision to play defender Harry Maguire as a makeshift forward in the final moments of the defeat to Nottingham Forest.
United suffered a 1-0 defeat to third-placed Forest at the City Ground, thanks to Anthony Elanga's first-half effort against his former side, but came close to equalising through Maguire with virtually the last kick of the game.
The substitute climbed off the bench in the 88th minute and poked his effort towards goal, only to see it cleared off the line by Murillo with seconds to go in the game.
