Manchester United travel to Villa Park today to take on Unai Emery’s side, after Steven Gerrard was recently sacked. Aston Villa won their first game without their former manager 4-0 against Brentford, but were then thrashed 4-0 by Newcastle last weekend.
Erik ten Hag will be looking to pick a side that is good enough for the win, even with injuries to players like Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho, to move level on points with Tottenham Hotspur in 3rd.
Alejandro Garnacho did enough to catch the manager’s eye against Real Sociedad earlier this week, scoring his first goal for United to win us the game 1-0. He is looking to move ahead of Anthony Elanga in pecking order.
De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Eriksen, Van de Beek, Garnacho, Rashford, Ronaldo.
Subs: Dubravka, Maguire, Malacia, Fred, McTominay, Pellestri, Elanga, Martial, Shoretire.
Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne, Ramsey, Dendoncker, Luiz, Buendia, Bailey, Watkins.
Subs: Olsen, McGinn, Sanson, Ings Chambers, Augustinsson, Young, Bednarek, Kamara.
