Villa looked on course for a comfortable win after a first-half masterclass. McGinn's bizarre free-kick, which took a wicked deflection off the wall, and Dendoncker's expertly flicked header had the visitors two goals up at the break. Old Trafford was shrouded in a hush, the familiar feeling of frustration hanging heavy in the air.
But the second half saw a United transformed. Ten Hag's young guns tore into Villa with renewed vigour and purpose. Garnacho, the epitome of United's fighting spirit, fired home from Rashford's low cross, sending a jolt of electricity through the stadium. Not long after, the Argentine doubled the tally, his deflected shot leaving Martinez helpless.
The comeback was complete with just eight minutes remaining. Hojlund, on for the tireless Fernandes, pounced on a loose McGinn touch in the box and slotted home his first Premier League goal. Old Trafford erupted, a cacophony of joy erasing the earlier melancholy.

Villa, on the other hand, will rue their missed opportunities. They had the game in their grasp but were ultimately undone by United's relentless second-half surge. They remain third, a point behind Arsenal, but will be eager to return to winning ways at home against Burnley next weekend.
As the final whistle blew, Old Trafford resonated with the chants of "Viva Ronaldo" and "Ten Hag's Red Army." The Theatre of Dreams had witnessed a comeback not just in goals, but in spirit. United are back, and they're showing no signs of slowing down.
