Hello and welcome along to The Athletic’s coverage of Manchester United’s trip to face Aston Villa.
The big games keep coming thick and fast for Erik ten Hag and his players. They cannot seem to catch a break at the moment and today’s hosts will be intent on exacerbating their problems.
Villa come into today’s game buoyed by their brilliant 1-0 victory against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday — they’ll hope there are no signs of a lingering hangover.
Not too long to go until kick-off in the West Midlands so stick around for the next few hours as we build up to this one.
