Manchester United v Aston Villa: Commentary, updates, goals and stats as Carrick’s men aim to solidify third place

Manchester United host Aston Villa this afternoon. Follow all the action with our live commentary…

Two teams slugging it out for third place in the Premier League go head-to-head at Old Trafford this afternoon.

Aston Villa’s 1-0 win at Lille in the Europa League on Thursday night was a welcome return to form for Unai Emery’s side after a run of three defeats and a draw.

Michael Carrick suffered his first defeat as interim boss last time out – a hard-luck 2-1 setback at Newcastle – and Manchester United will be desperate to strengthen their bid for a Champions League spot with three points.

Villa haven’t won at Old Trafford since 2021.
