Roberto De Zerbi’s side is everything this United team is not at the moment: exciting, slick, cohesive, fast-paced and inventive.
But perhaps the worst part of the defeat for United fans is that it wasn’t all that surprising.
Boos rang out around Old Trafford at the end of the match – even when new signing Rasmus Højlund was substituted for Anthony Martial after 64 minutes.
“We have to be very disappointed and annoyed at ourselves,” ten Hag told reporters.
Former United striker Danny Welbeck came back to haunt his old club on Saturday.
