However, Manchester United soon came back into the game as Rasmus Hojlund scored a tap-in which saw the two sides head into the break level.
After half-time, Forest capitalised on a series of atrocious defensive moments from United and Andre Onana to quickly race to a 3-1 lead.
Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo linked up to pull one back, but it was ultimately not enough as the game ended United 3-2 Forest.
Manuel Ugarte can hold his head high with performance vs Forest
While United were beaten, one player deserving of praise was Manuel Ugarte who once again was a standout on a disappointing evening.
The Uruguayan was excellent with and without the ball as he continued to evolve into the player that United fans expected the £42m star to be when he joined on deadline day.
