Man United 3-2 Nottingham Forest: Bruno Fernandes hit milestone in controversial win

Manchester United claimed a narrow 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford in their final game of the season, but the result was heavily influenced by a VAR decision involving Bryan Mbeumo in the build-up to a decisive goal.

The key flashpoint came when a strike from Matheus Cunha stood after a prolonged VAR review, despite strong appeals for a handball in the earlier phase of play.
