Erik ten Hag went into the game in Australia hoping to maintain his winning run as Red Devils' boss.The Old Trafford outfit appeared to be on their way to registering their fourth win under Ten Hag as they took the lead in the first half. A goal from Jadon Sancho and an own-goal from Matty Cash saw the scoreline read 2-0 at half-time.However, Leon Bailey pulled one back for Steven Gerrard's side just four minutes into the second half. Former Arsenal defender Callum Chambers went on to equalize for Villa in injury time.The match between Manchester United and the Villans thus ended in a 2-2 draw.
