Luke Shaw makes brutally honest admission after Man Utd stunned by Aston Villa

Manchester United slipped to a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon to surrender their nine-match unbeaten streak under manager Erik ten Hag

Luke Shaw admitted that Manchester United were “sloppy” against Aston Villa and were fully deserving of the defeat on Sunday afternoon.

United came into the match unbeaten in nine matches, but put in a poor performance to be beaten 3-1 at Villa Park in Unai Emery’s first game as manager. Villa were 2-0 up after just 11 minutes, with Leon Bailey finding the bottom corner before Lucas Digne curled a free-kick past David de Gea.

Alejandro Garnacho and Cristiano Ronaldo saw shots saved by Emi Martinez before Shaw halved the deficit with a fortuitous deflection off Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey. United could not build on the goal however and Ramsey picked out the top corner just after the break to put Villa two goals ahead once again.

United had kept six clean sheets in their previous seven matches in all competitions and hadn’t lost since the Manchester derby on October 2. But Shaw accepted that he and his teammates did not deserve anything out of this game.
