Manchester United's Juan Mata has admitted he could not have imagined the Reds' 5-3 defeat at Leicester.
Manager Louis van Gaal started with big-money signings Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera and Radamel Falcao.
But Premier League newcomers Leicester overturned a 3-1 deficit to win 5-3 as they dominated the last half-hour.
"I keep thinking about how we lost a game that was under control," said Mata, 26. "I could not imagine a day like this."

Danny Murphy: "Manchester United's defence
lacked leadership, experience and quality. But if I criticise them, it
is also important I point out they did not have much protection. The
balance of the team was all wrong. We already knew Louis van Gaal's
squad was top-heavy with superb attacking talent but this game was the
first time we have seen that it does not matter how dangerous they are
going forward if they cannot defend." |
