A quick start to the season saw Aston Villa rise to the business end of the league standings early on, though many believed they were only flattering to deceive and their decline was very much around the corner.

Proving their doubters wrong, the Villa have continued to romp through the Premier League, and are showing no signs of letting up. As Smith’s men prepare to tackle Man United on Friday night, they will set their sights on upstaging the Red Devils.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa Team News

Gradually building a formidable team, Solskjaer’s Man United are finally looking like serious league title contenders. Having instilled that winning mentality in his players, they always go the extra mile to ensure all three points are posted on the board every game-week.

Beginning the league campaign in mediocre form, United quickly dropped to the bottom-half of the standings, and well beneath top-spot. However, a recent upturn in form has thrusted them right into the top-four mix.

It is worth noting that the Mancunians haven’t lost a single game in December – emerging victorious in four whilst sharing the spoils in the other two. Perhaps, the highlight of this fantastic month was the 6-2 drubbing of bitter rivals Leeds United few weeks ago.

On the last matchday, they had bogey team Wolverhampton Wanderers to contend – a side Man United have failed to topple in their last three meetings, each of them ending in draws. This time around, the Red Devils were determined to bring this hoodoo to a halt.

After a goalless 90 minutes, it appeared both sides would have to settle for a share of the spoils again. An extra-time plot twist changed the course of the game, as Rashford latched onto a precise Fernandes long pass to poke the ball home off Romain Saiss to clinch a narrow 1-0 win.

Shot up to second-place on the standings, United are now neck-and-neck with reigning champions Liverpool at the log’s top-end. Meanwhile, Aston Villa are also enjoying a brilliant campaign, ending year 2020 in fifth-place.

Impressively, the Villa sit comfortably on this spot, even with two games in hand. These ones are very capable of mounting a serious title challenge as they have enough quality to pull this off. Surely, Aston Villa will give the Red Devils a run for their money here.
