Manchester United will today host Aston villa at old Trafford. This game comes immediately after Christmas and it comes in while Manchester United is goalless in four matches. How this game comes in while aston villa is in it’s best form. In their recent matches you realise that out of the 56 matches they have played, Manchester United have managed to win 38 matches, 13 matches ended in a draw, while Aston villa has won only 5matches.
Manchester United is also yet to lose a match on boxing day in the recent years meaning could Manchester United lose the match, it will automatically imply that Eric tenhag has set another poor record. Aston villa are currently third on the English premier league table while Manchester united seat in the 8th position. This came after the defeat to westham United.
In the team news it is likely that Raphael Varane could return to the team, while Amadou Dialo is still being assessed to see if he can really make it to the team. Diego dalot will also return to the line up after serving the ban. While mason mount, Maguire and Martinez remain sidelined due to injuries.
In Tenhag words on the match “I think hopefully Raphaël Varane returns . And for the rest, maybe Amad Diallo, we’ll see how far he is. He has trained now for two weeks. They are probably the ones who can maybe return.”
Ten Hag asked what #mufc need to do differently against Aston Villa compared to West Ham:
“To start [we have to understand] the meaning of the first goal. When you control the game as we did today, but Villa are different side. They are in very good form and are a very good team.
“So we have first come to that point, but if you are creating the chances, you have to take them if you want to win the game because otherwise you don’t win games. That’s clear.”
Ten Hag on Anthony Martial being released/sold:
“When we have news, then of course I will tell it. But that is not our aim.”
Ten Hag on Anthony Martial: “He’s still unwell.” he comfirmed that Martial is still out.
On the other hand Aston will will miss players like Kamara and Kash due to suspension while Tielesman could also miss the clash due to injury we while defender Pau Torres is likely to make his return. Following the recent performance of the both clubs you realise that the favorites of the match are the villas though Manchester United could use the home advantage to destroy the enemies.
