LANGUAGE: Heavy rain causes flooding at Old Trafford as Arsenal sends title race to the wire
Leandro Trossard scored the only goal after 20 minutes, to keep the pressure on Manchester City.
Socceroo Aaron Mooy will spend the next season at second-tier English club Huddersfield Town after agreeing a year-long loan deal from Manchester City.
Mooy, 25, signed for the English Premier League giants last week, completing a cross-continental move from sister A-League club Melbourne City.
The midfielder said he was delighted with the move, which gives him a better chance of first-team football than he might expect in Manchester.
“I’m delighted to join Huddersfield Town Football Club, ahead of what I’m sure will be a really exciting season,” he said.
“Huddersfield are a progressive club and are an ideal fit for me to achieve my goals for the coming year.”
Mooy will have plenty of chances to impress at Huddersfield.
Unlike the A-League, which has just 27 league fixtures, Mooy will be thrown into the rigours of the English Championship.
In addition to the 46 home-and-away fixtures and any cup ties, Mooy will also be required for Socceroos duty as Ange Postecoglou’s squad attempt to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
Mooy’s agent, Paddy Dominguez, said the West Yorkshire club would be a “great next step” under coach David Wagner, a former colleague of Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp.
“Every decision Aaron has made has been strategically planned with a view to him having a good opportunity to get a lot of games and work with the right coach,” he said.
“David Wagner has done brilliant work with Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund and is exactly the kind of coach that will help Aaron progress his game to the next level.”
Mooy will also have a Socceroos teammate for company at Huddersfield.
Left back Jason Davidson joined the Terriers last year.
