Manchester United have broken yet another unwanted club record after falling 2-0 down inside just four minutes against Aston Villa.

On the back of Tuesday's extraordinary 3-2 win over Roma in the Champions League, Michael Carrick could have been forgiven for expecting a fierce response domestically on Sunday afternoon.

However, the Englishman instead oversaw yet another disastrous opening, as Villa winger Alysson took just one minute to break the deadlock with a low strike through Senne Lammens's legs.

The Red Devils then found themselves two goals behind just a few moments later, as Nicolas Jackson followed in after a Lammens save to tap home the visitors' second.

Jackson's strike marked a shocking new low for Man United, who broke their record for the quickest time to fall 2-0 down in a Premier League game at three minutes and 40 seconds.

Boos rang out around an already febrile Old Trafford following Jackson's goal, the ground already awash with a sea of green and yellow in protest against the Glazer family's ownership of the club.

Carrick and United's players were subsequently subjected to a collection of brutal chants from the crowd, such as "you're not fit to wear the shirt" and "you're getting sacked in the morning".

Villa fans also took aim at former midfielder Youri Tielemans, chanting "you used to play for a big club" and poking fun at Bruno Fernandes's recent public criticism, bellowing out "Bruno's right, you're f****** s****".
