Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat at bottom-placed Watford in the Premier League on Sunday as Paul Pogba made his first appearance for the visitors since Sept. 30.

United fell behind early in the second half as Will Hughes' free kick was headed on to record signing Ismaila Sarr, whose bouncing volley squirmed through the hands of David de Gea.

Just three minutes later Watford doubled their lead when captain Troy Deeney blasted in a penalty after Sarr was brought down by a rash challenge from Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Pogba came off the bench on 64 minutes, replacing Jesse Lingard. The France midfielder, who saw his return from injury delayed by illness in recent weeks, was unable to affect the result despite an encouraging display.
