Felipe Anderson's early strike, a Victor Lindelof own-goal and Marko Arnautovic's finish left United manager Jose Mourinho increasingly feeling the heat.
The drama at Old Trafford is rapidly turning into a crisis as United equalled their worst start to a Premier League season with just 10 points from their opening seven matches.
Here's how it played out:

Manchester City 2-0 Brighton
Just before he was about to come off, Sergio Aguero doubles City's lead with a lovely finish after another well-worked team move.
Newcastle 0-1 Leicester
Well this won't look good on Rafa Benitez, especially with the boss in the stands. St James' Park boos his decision to bring off Matt Ritchie for Atsu. The winger appears to ask the Newcastle manager why he's coming off as he heads straight past him and onto the bench.
Everton 2-0 Fulham
Cenk Tosun heads in Theo Walcott cross and ends any hope of a Fulham comeback.
Newcastle 0-2 Leicester
Harry Maguire leaps up and heads in James Maddison's corner. Brings back memories of Russia that one.

Chelsea vs Liverpool
Of course, there's another game this evening, and it's the big one.
Wolves 1-0 Southampton
With his first touch after coming on from the bench, Ivan Cavaleiro give Wolves the lead! Jimenez controls Traore's low ball and lays it into Cavaleiro's path as he steams onto the ball and slots it in.
Arsenal 1-0 Watford
Finally, a breakthrough for Arsenal and Alexandre Lacazette!
Iwobi drills a cross to the front post and Lacazette does so well to get in front of Cathcart to convert into the net. Although on second viewing it seems like it's more of a Craig Cathcart own goal.
Arsenal 2-0 Watford
Just like that it's two!
Mesut Ozil slots in Lacazette's low cross and stings Watford to end any hope of a comeback.
It was a nice flowing move for Arsenal as they took advantage of the increased amount of space that Watford are giving them as they push forward and Ozil is in all kinds of space to score in the middle.
Wolves 2-0 Southampton
Jonny!
Traore is making all kinds of things happen and feeds the ball to Doherty after a surging run forward. Doherty gets to the byline and cuts back a cross to Jonny, who makes no mistake with his finish.
