Manchester United will face a tough battle when they take on Aston Villa in an away fixture in the Premier League. Their recent form has been positive and they will try to build upon the momentum to attempt a path into the top four of the points table.
The Red Devils are eight points behind Villa, who are fifth on the table with 46 points. Hence, the Sunday afternoon clash will be of great significance for both parties. With multiple players back from injuries, United will be hopeful of a remarkable performance at Villa’s home.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup Vs Aston Villa
Defence
Andre Onana will be the man with the gloves for Manchester United and will be under pressure against Aston Villa, who have beaten the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City this season. The right-back position belongs to Diogo Dalot, who has been one of the key performers for his side in the ongoing campaign so far.
There will be a change in the centre-back duo as Lisandro Martinez is injured and Raphael Varane will pair up with Harry Maguire. Maguire recently returned from injury and looked a bit out of practice against West Ham but the management would want to give him sufficient game time to get back into form.
Luke Shaw is an automatic pick at the left-back position and his addition allows his side to operate at a whole different level.
Midfield
Casemiro, who recently returned from injury, will have the company of Kobbie Mainoo in the midfield. Both the players are influential on the field and can turn the course of the game at any stage. The holding midfielders will have the quality services of Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford to create danger for opponents.
While Garnacho and Fernandes had impactful contributions in the previous games, Rashford’s turnaround must also be around the corner.
Attack
Goal drought is a thing of the past for striker Rasmus Hojlund and he is now enjoying good form. He can be a decisive player in the game against Aston Villa.
