Donny van de Beek had a game to forget in a rare start for Manchester United as Unai Emery enjoyed a dream start to life in the Aston Villa hot seat with a 3-1 victory.
It was Man United's first defeat at Villa Park since 1995 as Leon Bailey struck and Lucas Digne scored a delightful free-kick within the opening 11 minutes. The Red Devils saw their deficit halved when Jacob Ramsey deflected a Luke Shaw strike past Emiliano Martinez. But Ramsey atoned for his error four minutes after the break with a fine effort.
The defeat sees Man United remain in fifth, three points behind Tottenham in the Champions League spots. Villa, meanwhile, move three points away from the drop zone and up to 13th.
