According to The Sun, Marcus Rashford scored the opening goal in the 27th minute before Martin Odegaard equalised for the hosts a minute later.

Two late goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus stunned the Red Devils, who had earlier had a goal by Alejandro Garnacho ruled out for offside.

Ten Hag slams refereeing decisions

A fuming ten Hag has now pinpointed three refereeing decisions that he feels tilted the game against United.

According to the Dutchman, Garnacho's goal should have stood, despite replays showing the winger was fractionally offside.

The United boss further added that his side should have been awarded a penalty when new signing Rasmus Hojlund was brought down in the area.

"It's not offside [for the Garnacho goal], wrong angle," Ten Hag told Sky Sports after the match, via Sportbible.
"It's a penalty on Hojlund, and then we concede a goal, it's a foul on Jonny Evans so clear and obvious," he added.

United will be desperate to get their campaign back on track when they take on Brighton in their next Premier League fixture on Saturday, September 16.

Rashford makes history

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Marcus Rashford broke a 10-year Manchester United record after he found the back of the net against Arsenal on Sunday, September 3.

The United forward was part of the starting XI as the Red Devils took on the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium.

The winger fired home the opener after thrashing a right-footed shot across goal to beat Aaron Ramsdale, who was between the sticks for the north Londoners.

According to OptaJoe, Rashford's goal saw him become only the second Man United player to score in three consecutive Premier League appearances against Arsenal.
