Forest could have scored even more goals shortly after halftime thanks to goals from Chris Wood, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Nikola Milenkovic.

This season, Nuno Espirito Santo has already impressed Jamie Redknapp, and the Forest head coach is leading the club to success.

Robbie Earle commended Milenkovic for his efforts, but it appears that one Forest star just keeps getting overlooked.

Robbie Mustoe loves watching Forest star Ryan Yates

At Old Trafford, the Forest captain returned to the club and guided them to a resounding victory in the North West.

Although Yates is still working on consistency, he performed the fundamentals admirably against United and helped Forest win with some strong defensive play.

It appears that Mustoe enjoys watching Yates a lot, and he gave him compliments following the victory at Old Trafford.

“It goes back to recruitment,” he said on The 2 Robbies Podcast. Whether it’s Anthony Elanga, Hudson-Odoi, or Gibbs-White.

“I absolutely love watching him play; he’s an all-action type and a fantastic player for the club, whether it’s Chris Wood or even more seasoned players like Ryan Yates.”

Yates in numbers vs Manchester United

Yates won more headers than any other player during Saturday’s victory, according to Who Scored, with the captain winning five aerial duels.

With 28 passes that found people in blue jerseys, he also had the second-best pass accuracy after Callum Hudson-Odoi, at 82.1%.

Yates has made better defensive contributions in prior games this season, but in the ninety minutes he played, he did complete three clearances.

The midfield player is currently taking advantage of the opportunity to play frequently, and he hopes to get even more recognition as the season goes on.
