Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United will take on high-flying Aston Villa in the Premier League in what will be a Super Sunday clash at Villa Park on October 6. The Villains will be brimming with confidence after their morale-boosting victory in the UEFA Champions League against German heavyweights Bayern Munich in their mid-week fixture.
Unai Emery’s men will go into the match as favourites and will have the support of the home crowd, who will raise the heat for the visitors on the night.
