They underestimated their opponents, thought it would be easy to win the game

Costly mistakes in ten minutes of play to put the home team 2-0 up on the scoreboard, Villa Park was debuting its new coach, Unai Emery, they knew that this game was not going to be a major complication, they had an advantage of having beaten the rival for many years, to be specific they had not lost to Aston Villa for 23 games, since 1995 the team had not beaten Manchester United at their stadium, it was a historic moment for the club.

The rivals took control of the game in the first twenty minutes of each half, that's where they were convincing and signed their great victory against the team that had been on an unbeaten streak for more than a month, nine consecutive matches without losing, five of those matches were in the Premier League, being a very important streak that the Red Devils lost, they were not able to recover from that adverse situation.

The team was complicated in many ways by allowing goals preceded by mistakes in the Red Devils' defence, they made mistakes and it was a costly result, they couldn't stand out with the team in the face of these moves, they kept moving forward in their way of playing, taking the game to a pace that the Dutch coach had not experienced, even after the game he commented that they had to be ready for when this moment would come, a crushing partial defeat for the team.

They thought they were going to be a team that was not going to be a problem, they did not realise that they really have a high potential, it is a team that gave another lesson to Erik ten Hag, who did not know how to reverse this situation from the bench, there were many key errors in the team, they did not have the best possible level, they thought that having come to this game with nine matches without losing they were going to win, or that having kept the opponent six times in the last seven games it was going to be the same,

There has been an adverse situation for the Red Devils in the Premier League match, they did not manage to continue at a good level, it was complicated from the beginning, they did not achieve the effort expected by the institution of Manchester United, they failed in several options, the defence with Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof was very evident for their mistakes, van de Beek gave another bad game, they lost convincingly and they moved away from the first places.
