  • The Red Devils went into the game as slight underdogs, but they had a good opening half where the scores were level.

    Morgan Rogers secured the win for the Villans at Villa Park, but United could have easily picked up a point in the game.

    Matheus Cunha squandered a wonderful chance to equalise.

    Kobbie Mainoo did not make the matchday squad for the encounter and it has been confirmed that he picked up a fresh injury in training.

    The setback is only deemed as a minor one and it remains to be seen whether he will be fit to face Newcastle United on Boxing Day.

    The Magpies are a tough opposition regardless of the game being at Old Trafford, and United must produce a strong performance to win.

    Mainoo could be assessed in the lead up to the Boxing Day clash.
