Ruben Amorim said Manchester United‘s draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday was a game his team would have lost last season after Amad Diallo snatched a late equaliser.
United led at half-time thanks to a Casemiro header, but conceded twice in 92 seconds early in the second half to fall behind.
Amad scored a stunning volley to make it 2-2 and afterwards Amorim said he was sure United would have lost the game if it had been played last season.

«Yes, and for more goals, I think that is my feeling,» Amorim said.
«We lost control of the game for five minutes and we paid a price.
«I think we did some things well. I think also that our level of energy, we dropped a little bit. And when our team drops a little bit, the energy, you can feel it.
«In the past, if we had this kind of bad five minutes and we suffered two goals, we didn’t recover.
«Today is a different feeling. You can sense that we could not win this game, but we are not going to lose. And that is a feeling that a big team sometimes has to have.»
The result stretches United’s unbeaten run to four, while also marking a first Premier League point for new Forest boss Sean Dyche.
