United Review: Man United lose at Villa Park

 Aston Villa 3 - 1 Manchester United

A stunning start to Unai Emery's reign at Aston Villa after an awful performance by Manchester United.

Quick summary of a nightmare afternoon for Manchester United

Aston Villa were excellent, and they thoroughly deserve their win. The 3-1 defeat was not a fluke scoreline. United's goal was a fluke but other than that, Villa were excellent and could probably have scored more goals.

This was how United lined up at Villa Park. They were shocked as Villa raced into a 2-0 lead. Luke Shaw's deflected effort gave them hope but Villa were 3-1 up by 49th minute. It was then a very straightforward afternoon for the Villains.

The best chance of the second half came to Dalot. Casemiro found the Portugal right-back, but he decided to pass the ball across the box instead of going for goal, and the chance was gone as it fizzed past every United player and was cleared away.

What went wrong?

United were constantly sloppy in possession, Thhis turned into frustration when Tyrone Mings and Ronaldo had a coming together in the penalty area. Both men received a yellow card for the tussle. It is clear that despite United's improvements this season, the Red Devils still have a awful long way to.

The best social media responses

See the image below to see a range of different opinions from Manchester United fans. Most admit that performances haven't been great recently even if the results have been mostly ok.

One Twitter user said: "Erik Ten Hag is by far the right manager for Manchester United but he will make mistakes. Today he made a couple across the board but will hopefully learn from these shortly. It highlights that we need signings in January."

United Review: Reds cruise against Sheriff

Manchester United 3-0 Sheriff Tiraspol The reds recorded a comfortable in the Europa League. In a match dominated by the Reds, headed goals from Diogo Dalot and Marcus Rashford in each half were added to by a late Cristiano Ronaldo strike to settle the victory. The result, our fourth win of the group stage, means there will be a showdown at Real Sociedad next week to decide who takes the top spot and avoids having to play off against a third-placed side from the Champions League. United must win by two goals to topple the San Sebastian outfit on the head-to-head, after their 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.
