Although, a protest was there regarding the ownership of the Manchester club. However, United coach Erik ten Hag took a huge decision by benching Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo.

But, the home side kept their nerve still. They came out victorious and gained the first three points of the season on the board.
