Premier League: Aston Villa – Manchester United 6/10 – Follow the match on stream

Manchester United played to a thrilling draw against FC Porto in the Europa League earlier this week. Now, they turn their attention to the Premier League, where the need for points is even greater. Can United get back to winning ways?

Read on for exciting match information and find out where you can watch Aston Villa vs Manchester United on TV or stream.

Ahead of Aston Villa – Manchester United

Aston Villa has had a great start to the season with 13 points from six Premier League matches, followed by impressive performances in the Champions League, where they defeated both Bayern Munich and Young Boys without conceding a single goal. In the latest Premier League round, they faced Ipswich, which ended in a draw. “The Villans” are now unbeaten in seven consecutive matches in all competitions, with their last loss coming at home in August against Arsenal.

With a solid defence and efficient attacking play, along with home advantage, it looks like a tough task for the visitors, who have struggled to perform.

Will this be Ten Hag’s last dance?

Manchester United secured another draw in the Europa League, which is still an improvement from their performances in the Premier League. Their last match ended in a heavy 0–3 loss to Tottenham at Old Trafford.

One of the country’s biggest clubs is in a deep crisis, where both players and fans seem to have lost faith in Erik ten Hag. The defensive play leaves much to be desired, both individually and as a team. That Tottenham was able to so easily break through United’s defence in the last match is worrying. If not for Onana’s saves and Spurs’ missed chances, the score could have been even higher than 0–3.

The offense hasn’t been convincing either. United has scored only five goals in the league while conceding eight. Overall, they have won just two of their six league matches.

The pressure on Erik ten Hag increases with each round, and now a win is necessary to reverse the negative trend. Can he get the team back on track and regain confidence in this match?
