Mooy put the Terriers ahead after 28 minutes, after playing in Thomas Ince whose blocked shot fell kindly to the Australian.

Laurent Delpoitre doubled Town added five minutes later after a defensive error from substitute Victor Lindelof.

Marcus Rashford pulled back a goal on 78 minutes but Town held on for a famous win.

Town boss David Wagner said: “It’s a great story that ‘small’ Huddersfield Town has beaten Manchester United.

“It was deserved from my point of view. I think we performed very well and were very focused.

“We showed great concentration, aggression, togetherness, attitude, spirit, everything was there from the Terriers Identity.

“It’s great that we got a reward out of this game; three points out of this game.

“I know it’s only three points but every point for us is important and the moment of us beating Manchester United is a moment everyone will keep in their heads.”
