Man Utd 4-4 Aston Villa | HIGHLIGHTS

The commentator is still protesting the challenge when Chris Kavanagh's decision becomes clear: Manchester United have a penalty. Aston Villa's early advantage is about to shrink, and the voice accompanying the club's highlights makes no secret of his objection.

That moment has its own little echo in the comments, where viewers pick up on the insistence that the ball was won. Others focus on contact with Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki before United's final equaliser, questioning whether the goal should have stood. Those are supporters' objections, not a change to the result.

Villa's short recap of the 4-4 draw reached about 165,000 views in six hours, already far beyond the usual opening day for the club's Shorts.

There is plenty packed into it. Nicolas Jackson pounces after a spill to double Villa's early lead. After United draw level, John McGinn converts a penalty and Leon Goretzka finishes from a cross to restore the visitors' two-goal cushion. Then Joshua Zirkzee scores, and a crowded final corner undoes Villa's advantage altogether.

Alongside the highlights, the club has posted Unai Emery's post-match reaction under the title "\"It's difficult to accept this result\" | Unai Emery on draw to Manchester United". It gives the manager's perspective on a match Villa twice led by two goals.
