Villa started the second half brightly, but an underhit back pass from Morgan Sanson saw Fred set up Bruno Fernandes who finished beautifully to give Manchester United a 2-0 lead.
Steven Gerrard then sent on Philippe Coutinho, who had a dream debut. Coutinho was heavily involved in Jacob Ramsey’s first goal and then grabbed the equalizer himself in the 81st minute to grab a crucial point for Aston Villa.

When asked about what went wrong in the second half, the Manchester United manager said:
Steven Gerrard thrilled with Aston Villa’s comeback against Manchester United

The 2-2 draw leaves Manchester United in seventh place in the Premier League table. They are 5 points behind fourth-placed West Ham United with a game in hand.
