Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways when they welcome Aston Villa to Old Trafford this afternoon. United, who were beaten 3-1 by Villa in the reverse fixture at Villa Park back in November, squandered the opportunity to register a fourth successive Premier League win against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening, blowing a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 in north London.
Pedro Porro and Son Heung-min netted in the second half for the home side to cancel out Jadon Sancho's and Marcus Rashford's goals prior to the break.
