Aston Villa on Sunday handed Erik Ten Hag and his boys a huge defeat of 3-1 for new Coach Unai Emery to begin his reign at the park on an historic note.
Villa got in to the game so quickly, with their racy-pacy approach earning them a two goal lead in the first 12 minutes of the game from Leon Bailey and Lucas Digne’s a delightful free-kick.
However, United were able to reduce the deficit before the break when Luke Shaw had his efforts deflected into the net by Jacob Ramsey.
Ramsey, who had earlier provided the assist for the first goal, with a foul on him also leading to the second from Digne and yet scoring an own goal against his team, he would later complete his heroism on the pitch as he scored the third goal for the Emery’s boys to end a 23 winless home league games against the Red Devils.
With all their aces on ground, United failed to get the best out of the game even when Arsenal’s win over Chelsea has handed them a clear chance to move up more in the event of a win at the park.
The result ends United’s nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions and sets up an interesting reunion in the Carabao Cup on Thursday when Emery lead his boy down to the Old Trafford.
