5 matches that sum up United's unsatisfactory 2017-18 season

#4 Huddersfield 2-1 Manchester United (Premier League, 21 Oct 2017)

Huddersfield Town shocked Manchester United 2-1

A week after dropping points against rivals Liverpool, Huddersfield condemned United to their first defeat in 65 years against the Terriers' to end United's unbeaten start to the season.

Form before the match

Not even a week after dropping points against arch-rivals Liverpool, United's unbeaten start to the season was torn to pieces by a resilient Huddersfield Town.

The West Yorkshire side which is enjoying its first taste of Premier League life since its inception in 1908 had come into the match on the back of a disappointing run of three defeats and two draws in their previous matches.

How did the match progress?

The Red Devils had a first-half to forget - not only did they concede twice in the space of five minutes, but they also lost the in-form Phil Jones to injury. Jones' replacement - the £31m summer signing Victor Lindelof had an unfortunate hand in the Terriers' winner with Juan Mata partially responsible for the first one.

Initially, Mata had given the ball away cheaply to Aaron Mooy who eventually scored the first goal. Four minutes later, Lindelof miscalculated a long-kick by Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl and Laurent Depoitre took advantage to double the lead.

Although United put up a much more efficient display in the second half with Marcus Rashford scoring a goal, it was not enough to help United stage a comeback. With this defeat, Huddersfield marked their first victory over the Old Trafford outfit in 65 years.

How did it impact United?

With this unexpected defeat, United lost further ground to Pep Guardiola's Cityzens which recorded a routine 3-0 victory against Burnley and opened up a five-point lead over their rivals.
