Nottingham Forest fans might argue that boss Nuno Espírito Santo deserves to be on the nice list this Christmas after guiding their side to fifth place in the Premier League and masterminding a 3-2 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend.

But he didn’t need the supporters to make that argument for him as he met the big man himself at the Forest Christmas party.

Forest’s good results have come from hard work and discipline, and Nuno was keen to ensure Santa was on the ball ready for Christmas Eve.

“Make sure you do a good job,” the boss warned.

Maybe it’s the naughty list after all.
