Manchester United vs Aston Villa: team news and expert analysis
The ambitious Manchester club, having sacked Ruben Amorim in the winter, stunned everyone by surging under Carrick to third place. But the new season began with setbacks right from the opening match: a 0-2 defeat to Hull. And after beating Champions League debutants Sabah, they went on a run without a single victory. They also lost 0-2 to Chelsea. In the Champions League, they were 0-2 down against Roma as well, but managed to complete a winning comeback!
The Birmingham-based side won the Europa League and climbed to fourth place in the Premier League. However, after revamping the squad, they began the new season with defeats, including against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup. They only managed to get their campaign back on track in the autumn — and then almost stopped dropping points altogether, apart from draws with Brentford and, in the previous round, Fulham. But they suffered a heavy defeat to Bournemouth in the League Cup. In the Champions League, they also lost 0-3 to Barcelona.
Manchester United score an average of 1.11 goals per game while conceding 1.67. The current Europa League winners are averaging 1.11 goals scored and 1.44 conceded.
