“Physically, he is just so powerful, so explosive. The weight of that pass is perfect, he just hit it the first time and the header was brilliant.
“Physically, with his size, his leaping ability, and his speed, he will be awful to play against.”
Awoniyi and his Forest teammates are set to face Manchester United in another league clash on August 26 at the iconic Old Trafford.
