Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest Head to Head: Rivalry History
In 1892, Man United were known as Newton Heath, a young club, determined to establish their place. Forest beat them 3-1 when they met, and there wasn't a speck of doubt in anyone's mind. And that continued for the next one and a half decades, Forest just kept on winning. Rightfully, as they were the superior side.
However, the 1970s changed everything. Clough, a genius, arrived at Forest alongside Peter Taylor. Within a few years, they went on to win back-to-back European Cups. While the Red Devils were still struggling. Things changed when the Scottish manager Fergie took over at Old Trafford in 1986. He started building slowly a team that would go on to dominate English football for decades. By the 1990s, United were back. Then came the League Cup final in 1992 and it was huge. Why? Simply because Fergie-led United were against their rival, but things were different this time. As McClair won the game for the Red Devils.
