Aston Villa beat Manchester United with a 1-nil win in the Premier League this morning.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Aston Villa’s winning goal should not have stood after Manchester United slumped to a second straight home defeat.
Kortney Hause had put Villa ahead with an 88th-minute header before United’s Bruno Fernandes missed a stoppage-time penalty after Hause had handled the ball.
