Is Manchester United vs Aston Villa on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch
admin_news
After 11 days to stew over Manchester United’s first defeat under interim manager Michael Carrick, the Red Devils reignite their bid for a top-four finish as they welcome Aston Villa to Old Trafford.
A 2-1 loss to 10-man Newcastle blotted Carrick’s copybook and meant his side missed the chance to edge three points clear of Unai Emery’s men, with both tied on 51 points and United only ahead on goal difference.
But United have won all four of their home games during Carrick’s tenure and although Villa won the reverse fixture they have experienced something of a slide in the second half of this season.
But they will be full of confidence after a 1-0 win over Lille in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 clash and bidding to do the double over a resurgent United side.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news
United will be without Matthijs de Ligt and Patrick Dorgu, with Lisandro Martinez also ruled out with a calf injury which has already seen him miss three games. Mason Mount is a doubt but Noussair Mazraoui has won his race to be fit after taking a knock at Newcastle.
Villa will be boosted by the return of John McGinn, who came off the bench against Lille after missing 10 matches, and the Scotland international should be fit for the bench again as he manages his comeback from injury.
Boubacar Kamara and Youri Tielemans remain sidelined while Matty Cash is a doubt.

Man Utd XI: Lammens, Mazraoui, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw, Casemiro, Mainoo, Mbeumo, Fernandes, Cunha, Sesko
