While Manchester United’s defense, anchored by Senne Lammens and Ayden Heaven, initially survived a barrage of chances from John McGinn and Ollie Watkins, Morgan Rogers eventually broke the deadlock with a stunning long-range strike.
Manchester United briefly clawed back before the break thanks to a Matheus Cunha equalizer following a Matty Cash error, but ultimately couldn’t stop Villa’s record-breaking momentum.
Manchester United’s early energy faded by halftime following a setback: Bruno Fernandes was forced off with an injury. In an unexpected tactical move, Ruben Amorim deployed defender Lisandro Martínez in central midfield. While the Argentine adapted seamlessly to the role, United fell behind once more.

Morgan Rogers struck again, mirroring his first goal by cutting in from the left and bending a precise shot into the far corner. United had a golden opportunity to equalize when Patrick Dorgu delivered an ideal cross to Matheus Cunha, but the striker inexplicably headed wide from point-blank range.
In the second half, Ruben Amorim introduced debutants Shea Lacey and Jack Fletcher. Lacey managed a late effort that forced a save from the Aston Villa gialie, but the comeback never materialized. The Red Devils were left to regret Cunha’s glaring miss as the definitive turning point.
The result reinforces Aston Villa’s status as genuine title contenders, whereas United’s momentum has stalled. With a growing injury list and a widening gap between them and the European spots, Amorim faces a difficult stretch ahead.
