Huddersfield vs Man Utd: Three reasons why Mourinho’s side deserved to lose - Freund
HUDDERSFIELD deserved their shock 2-1 win over Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United this afternoon.
Huddersfield vs Man Utd: Freund explained why Jose Mourinho's side deserved defeat
That is the view of BT Sport pundit and former Tottenham midfielder Steffen Freund.
Goals from Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre were enough to condemn Manchester United to their first Premier League loss of the season.
Marcus Rashford pulled one back late for the visitors but Huddersfield’s defence held firm.
Freund named three problems that were wrong with United’s performance.
They couldn't create a lot of chances, they looked vulnerable on counter attacks, the defence wasn’t so organised
“They couldn't create a lot of chances, they looked vulnerable on counter attacks,” he said of Manchester United.
“The defence wasn’t so organised, especially individual mistakes like from (Victor) Lindelof can turn games.
“Overall it was a deserved win (for Huddersfield).”
Freund’s colleague Robbie Savage echoed his views and was impressed with a couple of the Huddersfield players.

“Mooy was absolutely fantastic, Thomas Ince was brilliant as well,” Savage said.
“They deserved it, okay they were hanging on but they defended really well when United were throwing bodies forward.
“But what a win for Huddersfield, great day for them.”
United are now five points off Manchester City after they beat Burnley 3-0.
