Third defeat in a row for Jose Mourinho's Manchester United

ose Mourinho's Manchester United slipped to a third damaging defeat in just nine days as Watford secured a 3-1 home win over the Red Devils Sunday.

It was the first time in over a decade that such a fate has befallen a Mourinho-managed team.

After a promising start to the season, including victory at Wembley in the FA Community Shield, United's woes began,

United's record signing Paul Pogba rattled the woodwork with a first-half effort, but in-form midfielder Etienne Capoue struck his fourth goal in six games to put the host ahead.

United improved after the break and when teenager Marcus Rashford was quick to react to put the visitor level just after the hour mark it looked ominous for Watford.

But Hornets boss Walter Mazzarri introduced Juan Camilo Zuniga off the bench, and the Colombian scored with his first touch of the ball on 83 minutes from Roberto Pereya's pass.
