The confirmed Man Utd XI for the game vs Aston Villa has now been named by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Tonight, the Red Devils have the opportunity to go joint-top.
Well, Manchester United’s big chance is here. Win today and move level with Liverpool at the Premier League’s summit. That’s far easier said than done, mind.
To their credit, Aston Villa have been excellent this season. From Jack Grealish to John McGinn, Dean Smith is building a side that has genuine aspirations of playing European football next season.
Make no mistake about it, they’ll be coming to Old Trafford to win. United will have to be absolutely perfect to avoid defeat in this one, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tasked with picking a starting XI that can do exactly that…
Victor Lindelof continues to be the only player missing with injury, while Edinson Cavani is unavailable here due to his three-match ban.
Check out the confirmed Man Utd XI vs Aston Villa here:
David de Gea obviously starts here, with the Spaniard definitely set for a busy evening…
Aaron Wan-Bissaka keeps his place at right-back for this one, with Luke Shaw starting in the left-back slot. Harry Maguire starts (and captains United), with Eric Bailly continuing to be his partner in Victor Lindelof’s absence.
Solskjaer has gone for a midfield four here. You’d imagine Scott McTominay will be sitting the deepest, with Fred playing just a little bit further forward. Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes both start. Their job will be to break down an in-form Villa back line.
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial both start. These guys will continue to be interchangeable in the middle of any given football match – so it’ll be intriguing to see how they line up from the first whistle.
