United will started the game with the following lineup: De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Shaw, Malacia, Bruno Fernandes, Sabitzer, Casemiro, Eriksen, Sancho and Rashford.
Aston Villa fielded the following lineup: Martinez, Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno, Dendoncker, Douglas Luiz, Mcginn, Buendia, Ramsey and Watkins.
The Red Devils wasted no time in stringing passes together, creating chances but failing to convert their creation a tale most united fans such as my self are getting sick of. Rashford tries a shot following a through ball from Bruno. The shot is deflected by Martinez. Eriksen tries then Sabitzer all failing to convert.
Aston Villa respond with Álex Moreno's shot of which Dea Gea was equal to the task, United had a lot of chances due to the Villans high line and United rapid attackers ( Sancho & Rashford).
We have to keep going from game to game but I think this is a brilliant week for us. Before this week, I would have been happy with a point at Spurs. Of course, when you see the game and you are 2-0 up, you are a bit disappointed. But with this win, it’s a perfect week. So big credit to the team."
"We really felt that the fans were behind us, so we have to focus to be successful because that is what the fans expect. They have to rely on us so we will focus on that. I’m sure when we give performances like we do all season, the fans are behind us and there is a lot of energy. There’s a really strong bond between the fans and the players."
We look from game to game and next we have Brighton so we need to work hard again. We need to show passion again and not worry about the table.
“We are totally in control [in the race for top four], it’s all about us and it’s in our hands.”
