Team News

There is no worrying news for Solskjaer about player injuries. Scott McTominay is confirmed to be in good shape. Edinson Cavani is also predicted to be ready to play.

Marcus Rashford is the only player who is still not fit and is definitely absent. The forward is still recovering after undergoing shoulder surgery.

Fred, Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who had their midweek break, were in combat-ready condition. Most likely they will enter the starting XI.

Check out the estimated Manchester United starting XI when they meet Aston Villa below.

David de Gea

Henderson did not play badly in the Carabao Cup match. However, De Gea is predicted to return to be the main choice in the duel against Aston Villa. Because, De Gea is in his best form and his confidence is good.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Wan-Bissaka will be the first choice at right-back position. He will miss the Champions League duel next week. So, Wan-Bissaka must play totally and don't need to save energy in the duel against Aston Villa.

Raphael Varane

Varane began to adjust to United's game. However, he had to miss out due to rotation in the Carabao Cup match. The French defender is predicted to return to the line-up in the duel against Villa and play since the early minutes.

Harry Maguire

Maguire will return to the starting XI. He will duet with Varane again. For United, Maguire's presence is very important. Not only technically, but also his role as team captain.

Luke Shaw

Like the other three United defenders, Shaw also did not appear in the Carabao Cup match. Now, the 25-year-old is in good shape. Shaw will again be the main choice and ready to be a mainstay.

Scott McTominay

McTominay has missed several games through injury. Now, the 24-year-old midfielder has recovered. McTominay is ready to give great energy to United's midfield. He can be relied on for physical duels with the Aston Villa midfielder.

Fred

There is no denying that Fred is Solskjaer's favorite player. Fred had an important role in the rapid transition process. Fred would be the ideal tandem for McTominay in midfield.

Mason Greenwood

Greenwood became a substitute in the Carabao Cup match. His performance is quite good, as shown in other games earlier this season. Greenwood will get a place for the right winger position.

Bruno Fernandes

Fernandes will not get time off yet. He will return to play to fill the role of number 10. Fernandes has a good record when he met Aston Villa. Fernandes always scores goals.

Fernandes' three goals against Villa all came from penalties.

Paul Pogba

Jadon Sancho has yet to find his best form. So, the left position will probably belong to Pogba. It's not just about Sancho's performance, Pogba has also performed well earlier this season.

Pogba became the creator of United's attack through assists and decisive passes.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo is hot. Ronaldo has scored six goals in his last four matches, at club and national level. After getting a break in the Carabo Cup match, Ronaldo is predicted to return to the starting XI this weekend.
