Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League tussle with Aston Villa at Villa Park this afternoon, making one enforced change.
United, who have failed to win either of their last two visits to Villa Park, will be looking to build on last Sunday's 3-0 win over West Ham United at Old Trafford. Goals from Alejandro Garnacho (2) and Rasmus Hojlund sealed a third successive win in all competitions.
With that said, Ten Hag will be keen to see his side maintain their encouraging run of form in the Midlands. The Dutchman has decided to make just one alteration from the win over the Hammers, as was widely expected.
