Manchester United lost some ground in their pursuit of the top four following a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday night.
Erik ten Hag was forced to make one change after Tuesday's win over Aston Villa, as Antony came in to replace Rasmus Hojlund was in the squad due to illness.
United struggled to carve out chances in the early stages of the first half, while the home side had a couple looks at goal, with Chris Woods going closest with a strike from distance.
Unfortunately, that was as good as it got in terms of chances of the first half as Ten Hag's men failed to trouble Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner.
The absence of Hojlund could have been a factor as Marcus Rashford found it tough to get any joy playing in the number nine role in the opening 45 minutes against Murillo and Niakhaté.
That nearly change ten minutes into the second half when Aaron Wan-Bissaka did well to tee up Diogo Dalot, who saw his first-time strike crash against the upright.
Forest went ahead ten minutes later when a neat passing move ended with Gonzalo Montiel teeing up Nikolas Dominguez, who fired home a low strike from just inside the box.
However, United got back on level terms with 14 minutes to play as Alejandro Garnacho won the ball high up and turned provider to tee up Rashford, who showed great composure to slot into the bottom corner.
The home side were back in the lead in the 83rd minute as Anthony Elanga cut inside before teeing up Morgan Gibbs-White, who sent a lovely finish beyond Andre Onana.
