Manchester United vs Aston Villa Predictions

• United have failed to win three of their last five games
• The Red Devils have failed to win half of their home league games
• Villa won 1-0 at Old Trafford earlier this season

Tricky time for United

It’s not been the best week at Old Trafford, with Monday’s 1-0 loss to Wolves an awful way to kick-off the New Year. Following that loss, the media has been full of reports of United players who are already turning on their interim boss and his methods.

An FA Cup exit at home wouldn’t be the best way for Ralf Rangick to follow that up. To make matters worse, Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard arrives in the opposite dugout. Can the new Villa boss secure a win at Old Trafford?

Tough run for Villa

Aston Villa have struggled of late, but they can capitalise on United’s poor form. United have won twice in their last five games, while they’ve failed to win half of their home Premier League outings this term. That includes four home defeats, with United losing 1-0 to Dean Smith’s Villa earlier this term.

The hosts are struggling for goals, so it’s hard to back them against a Villa side who have scored in seven of their last eight. Following that up should see the Villains avoid defeat at the very least. I’m backing Villa double chance here, with a 1-1 draw my correct score prediction.
