Stoke 2-2 Manchester United: Six things you missed as Jose Mourinho dresses down, clocks fail to work and Paul Pogba shows his true colours

Manchester United dropped the first points of their Premier League campaign as they were held to a draw by a resilient Stoke at the bet365 Stadium. 

Choupo-Moting scored twice for the hosts as Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku fired home for United.  

With the constant flow of attacks and counter attacks there will be plenty of moments you may have missed during the match. Sportsmail's BEN CHURCH has rounded up six of them below.

Dress-down Saturday 

Is this what a man with no worries looks like? 

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was looking very casual as his side warmed up for the evening kick-off. 

When your side has won all of three of their opening league games without conceding a goal you can afford to have your shirt untucked, I suppose.

Timeless first-half

Those of you watching BT Sport's coverage of the match may have noticed this as well.

The game-clock (located in the bottom left of the screen) failed to do its job for much of the first half. Instead of telling us the time, it simply told us it was the '1st Half'. It then just disappeared! 

It did finally come back in the second half. 

You only had one job...

Pogba shows his true colours

This one was admittedly hard to miss.

We are all use to Pogba's experimental attitude when it comes to hair-styles but this one is extravagant even for his standards.

Even though the visitors wore their black away-kit, the Frenchman did his bit to remind everyone the club's real colours.

Penny for Alex Ferguson's thoughts...

Choupo-Moting finds a way

It was Choupo-Moting who finally found a way past Manchester United's defense. 

The Red Devils had not conceded a goal in the Premier League until Stoke's new signing showed the desire needed to get on the end of Mame Biram Diouf's cross. 

It was nothing too fancy, just efficient. Why couldn't United's last three opponents do the same?

He then went and scored another.

Return of the Diouf

Much was made about Darren Fletcher facing his old club but he was not the only Stoke man facing a familiar foe.

Diouf, the Potter's marauding wide-man, was also facing his former side having of course signed for United in 2009. 

It may not have been the most fruitful of spells but Diouf seemed up for upsetting his former employers. 

I wonder how many United fans had forgotten...

Mourinho and Hughes lock horns

The United manager may well have been feeling relaxed before the game but things certainly changed after 90 minutes at the bet365 Stadium. 

Not only did he see his side frustrated but he had one or two run-ins with Stoke boss Mark Hughes. 

The pair had a small coming together in the final stages when Hughes appeared to push Mourinho when he encroached out of his technical area. 

The pair then appeared not to shake-hands on the final whistle.  

Let's be honest though, neither are complete strangers to a heated exchange on the touchline.
