Aston Villa vs. Man United live score: Premier League result, updates, stats as Erik ten Hag faces crunch clash image

Aston Villa and Manchester United take top billing in the Premier League on Sunday after a contrasting midweek in Europe.

UEFA Champions League football was welcomed back to Villa Park on a raucous night as Jhon Duran’s brilliant finish downed Bayern Munich 1-0.

If that performance underlined the impression of Villa as a club on the up under Unai Emery, a topsy-turvy 3-3 draw against Porto in the UEFA Europa League only heightened the sense of shambles and potential end-game around Erik ten Hag’s United.

The October international break and the space it potentially creates for Old Trafford’s powerbrokers to make their next move looms, although this year’s FA Cup final showed Ten Hag has a knack for getting a result in tough circumstances exactly when he needs it.

Aston Villa vs. Manchester United live updates, highlights, and commentary

4 mins: The reshaped United backline deal with Digne’s free-kick from the right.

3 mins: Eriksen was another of Ten Hag’s surprise selections and the experienced midfielder is already into the book for pulling down Rogers. Not ideal.

Kickoff: 1st Half

United get us underway for what could be a pivotal 90 minutes for the club and their manager.

2 mins before kickoff: Here come the teams. Strap yourselves in!

20 mins before kickoff: Ten Hag has attributed his defensive choices to rotation and the specific requirements of facing this Villa side. This pacey, direct Villa side. Hmmmm.

40 mins before kickoff: Gary Neville has had his say on United’s surprise defensive selection, telling Sky Sports that it feels like the sort of decision a manger makes when they are approaching the end.

I actually at one point thought Gary and Phil Neville might be fullbacks!

I must admit that if you think about the fact Manchester United have six centre-backs, if you’d said to me five or six weeks ago that you’d end up with Jonny Evans and Harry Maguire… Jonny Evans has been a fantastic centre-back, Harry Maguire’s a really good centre-back still

But if you’d said to me that they’d end up with these two at centre-back six or seven games in I’d have said there must be four injuries to the others. The fact that De Ligt and Martinez have been dumped to the bench… you can’t really argue with the decision from a footballing perspective because if you watch the goals United conceded in Porto they were horrific from De Ligt and Martinez’s point of view.

But just optically, from the point of view of the plan, the plan this season was for Erik ten Hag to establish his style of play, shift the team up the pitch, make them more aggressive, make them more in the style of what he wanted to implement.

United now are going to be camped at the edge of their box with Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans. This is not the plan. So, for me, it’s a little bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

It feels a bit like when a manager is struggling at the end of his tenure and they throw the young players in or the players that they like or the players that they trust. It feels a little bit like that today. United have got results when Erik ten Hag has needed it in the past and we’ll see what happens in the next couple of hours.

1 hour before kickoff: Matty Cash returns at right-back for Villa, with Ezri Konsa shifting over to partner Pau Torres in the heart of defence. There is still no start for supersub Jhon Duran despite his latest heroics against Bayern Munich. Jaden Philogene is rewarded for his efforts in midweek with a first Premier League start.

1 hr 15 mins before kickoff: The lineups are in. Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho had a half each in Porto but each start in support of Rasmus Hojlund. The Dane scored in midweek and makes his first Premier League start of the season. Ten Hag makes a double change at centre-back, with Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans in for Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez.

Kobbie Mainoo is fit to return. That means Manuel Ugarte joins his fellow summer signing De Ligt among the substitutes. Bruno Fernandes captains the side despite being sent off in his past two matches. The Premier League retrospectively overturned last week’s red card against Tottenham.

1 hr 40 mins before kickoff: The mood around these two clubs could scarcely be more different heading into Sunday’s game. Jim Ratcliffe’s refusal to offer assurances over Ten Hag’s long-term future in the aftermath of the Porto draw felt ominous. Meanwhile, Unai Emery is a hero in tune with his fanbase, the sort of manager United have repeatedly tried and failed to find since the days of Sir Alex Ferguson.

2 hours before kickoff. Hello and welcome to The Sporting News’ live coverage of Aston Villa vs. Manchester United. Villa are on the crest of a Champions League wave, while under-fire United boss Erik ten Hag once again finds himself in the position of badly needing a positive result.

Ten Hag has made the startling call of dropping both Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt to start experienced duo Jonny Evans and Harry Maguire at centre-back.
