In comparison, apart from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s strike, Man United goalkeeper Senne Lammens did not have a save to make.
How it went down at Old Trafford
It was a nightmare start for Moyes with Seamus Coleman being forced off early on before Gueye was given his marching orders after 13 minutes, with Sofascore showcasing how bad of a game the midfielder had.
