With newcomer Ratcliffe taking over the reins of Manchester United, the team made their debut in the Premier League in the early hours of Wednesday morning, recreating that "magic surge". Trailing by two goals in the first half, Alejandro Canazo scored two goals in a row, and with the debut goal of super scorer Helen, United won 3-2 at home against Aston Villa, ending the embarrassing record of four consecutive matches without a win, and letting the coach Tannhäuser, who had been under great pressure, breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
In the last round against Westham, Manchester United suffered a two-goal defeat, which was the first time since 31 years ago that they had four consecutive matches with no result. Against third-placed Aston Villa, United remained passive in the first half. In the 21st minute, Villa's John McGuinness took a penalty kick from the right side of the field, and the ball flew into the net when there was a gap in front of the goal. Just five minutes later, John McGuinness sent in another corner kick, which was headed in by Kiwi Dilangler, and Dandanska shot the ball at the near post to make the score 2-0.
When United fell behind by two goals, the home fans booed and thought the team was going to lose again. However, the tide turned in the second half and Alejandro Canazo was the savior. The 19-year-old Argentinean international was called offside at one point, but he bravely issued a warning to the opponents. He then made it 1-2 in the 59th minute when he headed in a cross from the left by Rashford, and he made it 2-2 in the 71st minute.
In the 82nd minute of the match, the magical scene that the fans were waiting for finally happened. Bono Fernandes took a corner kick and Helen capitalized on a poor clearance and scored easily to make it 3-2. The £72 million (HK$716 million) 20-year-old Danish international has scored five goals in this year's UEFA Europa League but did not score for the first time in the league until after 15 Premier League matches for Manchester United.
