Manchester United are playing against Aston Villa in the Old Trafford, Manchester on the 25th of September 2021, Saturday at 17:00 IST. Manchester United have had a terrific start to their league campaign while Aston on the other hand have been ok to say to start off with. 

Manchester United Form and Team News

Man United have started this season in some style after the first five games, they have been clinical and not reckless so far. Four wins and a draw from the first five games is not a bad return. In the last season, Manchester United ignited some fire brand football on certain occasions which gave out the impression that they were truly on the comeback trail, but like the case of Arsenal, the transition is on a never ending sojourn. Manchester United’s recent form has been that great compared to the rivals, also add to the fact that they beat the Aston Villa side who they are going to face next on multiple occasions as well. They have won five games and lost just two games in the last nine they have played while two games ended in a draw. Manchester United surely have everything in their favor now, and winning championships should be the only priority from here on.

Cristiano is back in the house!! He ignited the Old Trafford in the last game with a brace to his name. Ole had a big purse this summer and he has brought in two superstar players in Sancho and Varane. If Sancho is able to hold the reputation of being the force that he used to be in the right wing at Dortmund, then, Man United could be in for a lot of goals down that flank along with help from Cavani, Rashford and CR7 joining them. Talisman Pogba has made a stellar start with seven assists in just the four games played. Bruno too has made an impact with his accurate ball play and control. 

Aston Villa Form and Team News

Two wins, two loses and a draw, that’s been Aston Villa’s scorecard after the first five games. They have had a win, a loss and a draw to show for their 10th placed showing so far. Aston Villa in the last few seasons have made a habit of staying outside the top ten in almost all of them. One word can be associated with this habit and that is ‘inconsistency’. They need to start winning on a consistent basis to have any chance of breaking into the top half of the table. They are playing against Manchester United in their next match and it could get tough if they exhibit the habit mentioned above, but it would be a different game if they are able to break them down and score before they can even imagine, Manchester United might find it difficult then. 

Dean Smith has been at the helm for three seasons now and he has been quite decent to say nonetheless. An average 1.57 points is a good stat to have. But this could elevate further if Aston can find themselves in the top half of the table and Smith could throw in his hat for the best managers in the league list. Danny Ings has already hit two goals and assisted on occasion starting on the right note. McGinn, Mings, Bailey and Buendia have pulled the correct strings after the first five games, Smith would hope this continues in the long run.
