Aston Villa vs Manchester United Preview
Bruno Fernandes will be allowed to play against Villa despite being red carded against Tottenham last weekend and against Porto on Thursday. Following an underwhelming 3-3 draw with Porto in the Europa League midweek, time is running out for Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United were beaten their previous game, losing 3-0 at home to Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. The Red Devils finished with just 38% possession and had two shots on goal.
Unai Emery has proven himself to be everything that Ten Hag hasn’t at Man Utd, but it was the latter who enjoyed the last laugh in last season’s meetings. Aston Villa can cap a memorable week by beating Manchester United and leaving Erik ten Hag on the brink. Confidence is through the roof in the Villa dressing room, the absolute opposite of the atmosphere in the United camp. Both teams have scored in five of the last six encounters between these two clubs. Man Utd have conceded three goals in each of their last two matches in league and cup, while Aston Villa have scored three goals in three of their last six matches.
