Week 9 saw Manchester United's unbeaten run in the League broken, following defeat to Huddersfield Town at John Smith's Stadium, according to the Guardian. Huddersfield went ahead when Aaron Mooy capitalized on Juan Mata's midfield stumble and caught the United' defense on the run before he clinically dispatched the ball into the net. Five minutes later, Laurent Depoitre raced onto a loose ball from center back Victor Lindelof — who earlier substituted injured Phil Jones — to round United goalkeeper David De Gea and double the Terriers' lead.
\In the course of the match, Manchester United held more possession of the ball but created few chances up front and managed to find the back of the net courtesy of Marcus Rashford's 78th-minute header off Lukaku's cross.
A few minutes into stoppage time, José Mourinho's side attempted every effort to level up the score but unfortunately, they were unable to find a breakthrough and eventually lost the match to a potent Huddersfield team. Nevertheless, it was a hard-fought victory for the Terriers, who were the better side considering their solid attacking performances.
