Match Report
All six goals came after the interval with Erik ten Hag's side falling behind twice before Bruno Fernandes' deflected strike put them ahead for the first time and Scott McTominay sealed it. The result goes some way to avenging Villa's 3-1 defeat of United in Unai Emery's first game on Sunday.
After a dismal 45 minutes, the game came to life after the break with Ollie Watkins opening the scoring before Anthony Martial levelled just 19 seconds after the restart. Diogo Dalot's own goal restored Villa's advantage but then Marcus Rashford found another equaliser.
Fernandes, suspended when the teams met at Villa Park at the weekend, turned the game on its head amid a raucous Old Trafford atmosphere and McTominay ended any hope of the comeback.
