"When this happens it's my fault, because I'm responsible. We tried to do it in the best way, we did a lot of work in this area because we saw it in Arsenal , and it is really hard," Amorim told a news conference. United's lack of height and power at the back is exposed at free kicks and corners and Amorim rejigged his team in the second half, bringing on centre-back Harry Maguire at 3-2 down in a sign that he was worried about conceding again.
Martinez and goalkeeper Andre Onana were then both at fault for Forest's third goal in the 54th minute, a looping header form Chris Wood that one of them should have dealt with.
