Manchester United vs Aston Villa – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester United host Aston Villa at Old Trafford today, aiming to extend Michael Carrick’s perfect home record and take a giant step towards Champions League qualification.

The Red Devils have moved into third place under the guidance of Michael Carrick, who has overseen a remarkable turnaround that has included wins over Manchester City and Arsenal. United are currently enjoying their longest scoring streak since the Alex Ferguson era, having found the net in 17 consecutive Premier League games.

Manchester United team news

Michael Carrick manages a squad bolstered by the return of a key midfielder but still missing several defensive anchors. Notably, Mason Mount has resumed group training after a lengthy layoff and could make the matchday squad.

Consequently, the manager faces selection dilemmas in the final third, though Bruno Fernandes remains an immovable object in the starting XI. Notably, Fernandes’ goal involvements have earned United 23 points this season, a tally surpassed in club history only by the likes of Robin van Persie and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Senne Lammens will start in goal behind a defensive line featuring Leny Yoro and the experienced Harry Maguire, as Lisandro Martínez and Matthijs de Ligt remain sidelined. In midfield, Casemiro—who has already matched his career-best scoring tally of six goals this season—will partner Kobbie Mainoo.

Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha are expected to provide the width for striker Benjamin Šeško. United have lost just two of their last 37 home league games against Villa and will look to maintain that dominance tonight.
