Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Aston Villa on Sunday. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men produced an incredible comeback against Sheffield United last weekend in what turned out to be a thrilling encounter, however, the Reds failed to hold on to their lead and came away with just a point in the end.
The Red Devils have been largely inconsistent this season, especially in the Premier League, and have managed just four wins in 13 games. However, they have had some good results at home lately and will fancy their chances going into this weekend's game.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, will be going into the game full of confidence after their 2-0 victory against Newcastle United last time around. The Villans currently sit 15th on the Premier League table with 14 points, and a victory against Manchester United on Sunday will take them level on points with the Red Devils.
