Manchester United fan goes viral after filming himself celebrating Nottingham Forest's winner

A Manchester United fan has gone viral after filming himself celebrating Nottingham Forest's winner against his side - before posting it to social media.

United suffered a 2-1 defeat at the City Ground on Saturday, with goals from Nicolas Dominguez and Morgan Gibbs-White condemning them to a fifth defeat in eight matches.

Marcus Rashford did level the scores after Matt Turner's error in the Forest goal, but Gibbs-White's strike secured what was arguably a merited victory on the balance of play.

The result places more pressure on manager Erik ten Hag, who will hope that 2024 and the January transfer window can help to inspire a turn of form.

Some United fans have aired their criticism of the Dutchman - although none have gone quite as far as one fan did.

Taking to X (Twitter), United fan @Be_serious23 filmed himself celebrating Gibbs-White's goal, before shouting: "Get in, Elanga assist.

"Gibbs-White, f***ing finish. F*** Ten Hag, bro. Sack this guy now."

It perhaps comes as no surprise that the video didn't go down well with fellow United supporters.

One wrote: "No matter what you think of the manager or players, you will NEVER be a United fan when you start rooting for the opposition to score. There is literally NO justification for it."

Another said: "You know what, I can really see why people say we're the worst fanbase going."

A third rival supporter exclaimed: "No shame in celebrating a rival team's goal??? Wanting your own team to lose???"

And a fourth added: "You are not a fan of your club if you want them to lose at any point."

United do now have a gap before their next Premier League fixture, with Ten Hag's side taking on Tottenham at Old Trafford on January 14.

Because of the logistics of the winter break, that is the only league match United are scheduled to play in January, although they do travel to face Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup next Monday.
