Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina playfully teased his teammate Anthony Elanga after the forward scored against his former club, Manchester United, in the Premier League.

The 22-year-old Swedish international netted the only goal, helping the Tricky Trees secure a narrow 1-0 victory at the City Ground on Tuesday night.

Elanga, who left Old Trafford in the summer of 2023, scored early within the opening five minutes of the game as Nuno Espírito Santo's side maintained their 1-0 lead for the remainder of the match.

After the game, Aina, who was substituted in the first half due to an injury shared a video on social media of Elanga with his Man of the Match award.

The Super Eagles full-back playfully remarked, "Anthony, you are a bad boy… against United!"



The victory boosts Nottingham Forest's hopes of finishing in the top four by the end of the season.

Nuno Espírito Santo's side are currently third in the Premier League standings, with 57 points after 30 games.
