  • Nottingham Forest defeated Manchester United in the Premier League
  • A Super Eagles defender was highly instrumental for his side on the night
  • The 27-year-old has thrilled fans with his dance moves following the win

Manchester United were condemned to their 14th defeat in the 28 games they have participated in so far through the 2023/24 season at the hands of Nottingham Forest.

Erik ten Hag’s side, who headed into the clash at the City Ground off the back of an impressive comeback victory against Aston Villa, were highly tipped to make light work of their relegation-battling opponent; however, things took a surprising twist when Argentine forward Nicolas Dominguez opened the scoring off a brilliant assist from 2022 World Cup winner Gonzalo Montiel in the 64th minute.

As reported by GOAL, Man United would stage a comeback into the game following a strike from Marcus Rashford in the 78th minute off an assist from high-flying Alejandro Garnacho.

Nonetheless, while the 2022/23 Carabao Cup Champions were gradually finding their feet in the clash, they were pegged back by a late sublime finish from marquee forward Morgan Gibbs-White, who finished a pass from Antony Elanga with aplomb to secure victory for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.

However, while the performance on the night was enough to leave a sour taste in the mouth of Man United fans, the act of Super Eagles defender Ola Aina would further exacerbate the frustration of ten Hag’s side.

Ola Aina displays dancing skills

Following the game's conclusion, the Chelsea Academy graduate, along with forward Elanga and new signing Callum Hudson-Odoi, showcased their dancing skills, as reported by Centre Goal.

The visibly elated trio demonstrated their amazing dance moves while enjoying Paulo Chakal’s ‘Ya Dieu Dedans’. This seemingly beautiful act left many fans infuriated, and Man United fans voiced their reactions on social media.

@iyapo_eniola commented:

“See what these Manutd players have caused.”

@JerubbaalPiesie, unable to believe his eyes, commented:

“Elanga 🤔”

@Myles_LFC, visibly pained, wrote:

“Enjoy it while it lasts…”

@hennyRCH13, who enjoyed the dance, posted:

“It's worth it ✊🏻😂😂😂”

While many Man United fans remain unhappy with the act, fans of the Nigerian defender are delighted with the delectable form Ola Aina is in ahead of the AFCON in Ivory Coast.

Ola Aina celebrates birthday in style

Sports Brief in a previous report highlighted that Super Eagles star Ola Aina celebrated his 27th birthday in grand style despite being injured.

The former Chelsea defender turned 27 on Sunday, October 8, but decided to celebrate the occasion a few days later.

The Nottingham Forest defender took to his official page on Instagram to post exciting pictures of him celebrating his birthday.
