Manchester Utd humbled by Huddersfield as mistakes cost Jose Mourinho's men

Manchester United suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season after a shock 2-1 loss away to Huddersfield Town.

In a stormy first half, Jose Mourinho’s side dominated possession but created little and were fortunate that Anthony Martial was not shown a second booking for some rash challenges.

And they trailed when Juan Mata gave the ball away and Aaron Mooy struck a well taken first-time effort.

The hosts were in dreamland five minutes later when a blunder from Victor Lindelof, who was on for the injured Phil Jones, allowed Laurent Depoitre to double the Terriers’ lead.

United did not improve much in the second half despite the introduction of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Marcus Rashford, who pulled a goal back with a header.

But David Wagner’s side held on to climb into 10th spot while United are now five points behind leaders Manchester City, who beat Burnley 3-0.

What went wrong for Mourinho’s men? Credit to Huddersfield for the way they defended but this performance was similar to some of the lacklustre United displays from last season. Juan Mata, Jessie Lingard and Henrikh Mkhitaryan provided plenty of effort but Jose Mourinho's side lack a world class and consistent No. 10 to feed Romelu Lukaku and chip in with a fair share of goals. And with games against Chelsea and Tottenham to come in the next few weeks, Mourinho will be hoping Paul Pogba can return from injury soon to provide that injection of creativity.

Christopher Schindler (Huddersfield Town): He was the star for the home side along with skipper Tommy Smith and did not give Romelu Lukaku an inch of space. The German’s positional play from set pieces was impressive and him and the rest of the defence kept their concentration throughout.

Man Utd: De Gea 6, Valencia 5, Jones n/a, Smalling 5, Young 5, Herrera 4, Matic 4, Mata 5, Lingard 6, Martial 5, Lukaku 6. Subs: Lindelof 4, Rashford 7, Mkhitaryan 6.

Huddersfield: Lössl 7, Löwe 6, Schindler 8, Zanka 6, Smith 8, Hogg 6, Williams 6, Ince 6, Mooy 7, Kachunga 6, Depoitre 7. Subs: van La Parra 7, Mounie, 6, Malone n/a

22’ – JONES INJURY: The defender has gone down with an apparent quadricep injury after overstretching and is getting treatment. Lindelof replaces him.

28’ - GOAL FOR HUDDERSFIELD! The hosts break, Ince's shot is well parried but Mooy's first-time effort goes into the corner.

33‘ - GOAL FOR HUDDERSFIELD! Huge blunder from Lindelof who misses a headed clearance, allowing Depoitre to take the ball around De Gea and score!

37’ - PENALTY SHOUT! Herrera goes down after getting in a tangle with Kachunga but the referee waves play on. Replays showed the Spaniard had a real case.

75’ - GOOD SAVE! Young's cross from the left is headed towards goal by Herrera and the keeper does well to palm it away. United's first real effort on target.

78’ - GOAL FOR RASHFORD! Good work from Lukaku to swing in a cross and the England forward is there to nod it in at the back post. Game on!

Huddersfield beat Manchester United for the first time in 65 years.

United have not come from behind to win a Premier League game since 2013.
