Saka, who has stopped his injury in a league game in Crystal Palace since his injury on December 21, will be back next week to face Real Madrid in the quarter -finals of the Champions League.

It remains to be seen whether Gabriel Magalhaes will be available for Arsenal against the European Champions. The Brazil Center Back went against Fulham in the 16th minute with an obvious thigh injury.

“I hope he is fine because he was probably our best player this season,” said Rice, “and we need him for big games and big occasions.”

Elanga's miracle goal

Elanga was shown that was missing with one of the goals of the season.

The Swedish winger got 20 meters in his own half in the fifth minute and set off directly to the goal of United. First, the armpit opponents winced Alejandro Garnacho and then entered the penalty area before shot into the lower corner.

Elanga, who left Malmo at the age of 11 to move to Manchester with his mother and sisters, was soon recommended that United celebrated the team in a muffled way, which brought him to the Pro ranks before he sold him to Forest in 2023.

“I appreciate Manchester United as much as if I had learned a lot there,” said Elanga. “I enjoy my football (in the forest) and I want to go on.”

The forest captain Ryan Yates said that Elanga was a “dream” for his teammates.

“We are particularly sitting in this low block so that he can give him the ball and he does the rest,” said Yates.

He is now an important player in Forest's unlikely march for the Champions League qualification for the first time. Of course, it will not be the first time in the team's top competition – Forest was known in 1979 and '80 under Brian Clough.

The United substitute Harry Maguire had the effort of Forest Defender Murillo in one of the last kicks of the game in a dramatic finish on the city premises.
