Overview
- Idrissa Gueye was sent off in the 13th minute for striking teammate Michael Keane, a decision the Premier League said VAR checked and confirmed, marking the first such dismissal since 2008.
- Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall delivered the decisive goal with a curling strike in the 29th minute at Old Trafford.
- Manchester United controlled possession against 10 men but could not find a breakthrough as Jordan Pickford produced several key saves, including from a late Joshua Zirkzee header.
- The loss ended United’s five-match unbeaten run and prompted boos, leaving them 10th on 18 points, level with 11th-placed Everton on goal difference.
- Post-match, Amorim said Ugarte is 'struggling' and pressed for improvement, with selection also constrained by injuries to forwards Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha.
