Manchester United suffer first defeat at Huddersfield

- Manchester United suffer shocking defeat away at Huddersfield.

- Mourinho's men failed to find a suitable response after conceding two goals.

- Defensive problems and failure to provide meaningful chances cost them the match.

- They played with more aggressiveness and passion than us says Mourinho.
After a brilliant start to the Premier League season, Manchester United have suffered their first league defeat at the hands of newcomers Huddersfield Town.

United travelled to Huddersfield Town on the back of a Champions League victory against Benfica and also last weekend's sour goalless draw against Liverpool in the Premier League.

With many expecting the Title contenders to return to their freescoring run, it was shocking to see them concede twice against a lowly rated league side.

Before this game, United had only conceded two goals in the 2-2 draw against Stoke.

Meanwhile, Manchester United Managewr Jose Mourinho has questioned his team's attitude after the match and concluded that the better side won the match not necessarily because they had more quality but that they were more aggressive and passionate.

Mourinho told a news conference: "The attitude was really poor. When you lose because of attitude that is really bad.

"I heard Ander Herrera saying in the interviews, saying the attitude and desire was poor. Oh my God. When a player says that, I think they should all go to the press conference because I cannot explain that.

"They [Huddersfield] played with everything they have, like I like, and like it has to be. They played with everything -- aggression, desire, motivation, sacrifice -- and we didn't. The team that deserved to win, won. Simple.

"It was a surprise but it is reality. It was a surprise but it happened. For me, it is quite easy and simple to say the team that deserved to win, won."

United now trail Manchester City by 5 points after losing this game.
