Manchester United FC are unbeaten for 16 games consecutively and now face relegation-battling Aston Villa next in the Premier League. United have found new hope to reach the top-four places in the Premier League and their fixtures are certainly helping them. It will be interesting to see how United target Jack Grealish performs, especially because of the hype around him.
United thrashed Bournemouth 5-2 in their last match and the front four of the Red Devils will take some stopping. Bruno Fernandes has been on fire since his arrival, making 11 goal contributions in just nine matches. Rashford and Martial have both reached 20 goals this season and will look to make it count against Aston Villa.
The last time these two sides faced off, Jack Grealish and Tyron Ming were on the score-sheet for Aston Villa. On the other hand, United were aided with an own goal from Tom Heaton and a headed goal from Lindelof. But this time, a draw looks very unlikely as the Red Devils have been rampant in the Premier League lately.
WHEN & WHERE?
Date: 9th July Saturday
Time: 7:15 PM GMT
Venue: Villa Park Stadium
TEAM NEWS
United will be expected to field the same team that played against Bournemouth except for Lindelof, who was subbed off at half-time. Lindelof reportedly had a problem with his back and Solskjaer might be tempted to rest him against Villa. Eric Bailly will be his obvious replacement and the Ivorian will cherish the opportunities and will look to cement his place.
Aston Villa will also probably field the same team that started against Liverpool. The Villa defence looked stern for about 70 minutes against the Reds until Mane scored for Liverpool. But looking at the current United attack and their form, it will be very difficult to keep them quiet.
