Aston Villa welcomed Manchester United at Villa Park earlier this evening as they looked to secure a win at home in the Premier League. The Villans made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 17th minute when Rasmus Hojlund got his name on the scoresheet. Unai Emery’s men failed to come up with a response and were trailing 1-0 at the half-time interval.
