The Red Devils\u2019 three-match Premier League winning run came to an end at the weekend, as Manchester United faced Nottingham Forest<\/a> and secured a 2-2 draw.<\/p>\n

United were leading Nottingham Forest<\/a> in the first half after a Casemiro<\/a> opener, but complacency in the backline saw Sean Dyche\u2019s men blow the contest wide open.<\/p>\n

Forest went 2-1 up in the first five minutes of the second half after Morgan Gibbs-White and Nicolo Savona scored against United in Saturday\u2019s Premier League clash.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim snatched a point from the visit to City Ground after a stunning first-time long-range volley from Amad Diallo<\/a> clinched the crucial equaliser for United.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the aftermath of United\u2019s encounter with Forest, Rio Ferdinand<\/a> took a swipe at his Arsenal-supporting co-host with his prediction for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just being realistic, which is hard for some Arsenal fans to be, which I understand,\u201d he said on \u2018Rio Ferdinand Presents.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think we\u2019ll finish top six based on what I\u2019m seeing right now. And I\u2019ll be content with that, massively.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Devils are level on points with seventh-place Chelsea and sixth-place Tottenham, while fifth-place Bournemouth are one point ahead of United.<\/p>\n

Sunderland are fourth and are level on points with third-place Liverpool and also Bournemouth, with a single point separating United from the Black Cats.<\/p>\n
