Manchester United heads to the West Midlands on Sunday for a challenging match.
Ruben Amorim’s team is currently unbeaten in their last four league matches, though they displayed defensive weaknesses in their recent 4-4 draw with Bournemouth. Historically, the Red Devils have a strong record at Villa Park, winning 18 Premier League matches there.
They will need to rely on this history to face an Aston Villa side that has won nine straight home games in all competitions. A victory would send a clear message about Amorim’s developing team.
Manchester United team news
Unfortunately, Amorim faces challenges with a limited squad. Casemiro is suspended for this match, and the Africa Cup of Nations has taken Noussair Mazraoui, Amad Diallo, and Bryan Mbeumo out of contention.
Injury issues also affect the defense, with Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire ruled out. Therefore, Leny Yoro and Lisandro Martínez are expected to start in defense. In midfield, Kobbie Mainoo is pushing for a place alongside Bruno Fernandes, who is aiming to set a record. An assist in this match would make him the first player to assist in six consecutive Premier League away games.
