United’s poor defending was exposed early when Nikola Milenkovic headed Forest into the lead in the second minute, outmuscling Lisandro Martinez at a corner.
It was United’s third set-piece concession in two matches.
Rasmus Højlund brought United level before halftime, pouncing on a rebound after Manuel Ugarte’s initial effort.
The hosts nearly took the lead moments later, but Bruno Fernandes’ free-kick rattled the crossbar.
Forest then regained control immediately after the restart. Morgan Gibbs-White capitalized on a weak save from André Onana to make it 2-1, and Chris Wood extended the lead following another Onana error.
Fernandes briefly reignited hope for United with a stunning strike, but the team failed to sustain pressure for an equalizer.
