Aston Villa Vs Manchester United
Manchester United team news.
Manchester United to be without Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw for the match against Aston Villa on Saturday. Both players were suspended for one Premier league match after receiving their fifth bookings in the competition this season. Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay both received their 5th (fifth) yellow card in the recent loss to Wolves at Old Trafford.
Only few options are available to replace Scott McTominay, who scored the winner against Aston Villa in the Emirates FA Cup third round. Ralf Rangnick will need to make a good change in the "heart" of the midfield. Alex Telles is the likely option to replace Luke Shaw at left back.
Victor lindelof has returned after he was absent due to COVID-19 law, while Phil Jones and Harry Maguire are expected to be fit again for the saturday's match. Eric Bailly and Hannibal from the young are on AFCON (Africa Cup of Nation)'s duty and for this Eric would be absent.
C. Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho were absent in Monday night due to muscular problems and they were not risked at all for the match on Monday's night, but Cristiano Ronaldo revealed he is confident of making is return. "Diogo Dalot" had a nasty "gash" to his ankle but played for the whole 90 mins of the tie.
