Manchester United were defeated 3-1 by Aston Villa at Villa Park, as Unai Emery’s squad gave their new boss the finest possible welcome.
It was also Villa’s first home league win versus United in 24 attempts, dating back to 1995.
Cristiano Ronaldo captained United, but the Portugal star could only watch as Villa took an early lead thanks to Leon Bailey and Lucas Digne.
Erik ten Hag’s team cut the gap with an own goal from Jacob Ramsey, but he redeemed himself with a beautiful finish in the 49th minute to give Emery victory in his first match in command since his appointment last month.
