Aston Villa made Man Utd fans feel like they were facing another nightmare when they opened the scoring in the 13th minute. Midfielder Westwood made a beautiful free kick on the edge of the penalty area, causing David De Gea to give up even though

*Transcript
Entering the second half, Man Utd was not too superior but still had two more goals thanks to Mata and Hernandez.
This victory temporarily soothes the anger of Man Utd fans after the recent poor period – where they went through three consecutive home matches without winning in the Premier League, of which two were close defeats.
As soon as the match started, coach David Moyes had to witness the banner `Wrong choice – Moyes go away` being flown over Old Trafford by a group of fans who rented a plane over Old Trafford (see video).
Playing without key striker Robin van Persie, Man Utd played with midfielder Mata and wing pair Shinji Kagawa – Ashley Young.
Rooney and Kagawa had a good day playing side by side.
From such situations, Mata brought home a penalty and a goal for himself.
Meanwhile, Kagawa showed that he deserves a place in the main team.
In the upcoming match against Bayern, coach David Moyes will have to choose whether to let Kagawa play in defense behind Rooney or pull the English striker down and let Welbeck play highest.
Aston Villa is not a big opponent with Man Utd, but the home team still entered the game with a counter-attacking defensive style.
