The Red Devils went to visit a team that looked like they were not going to complicate Erik ten Hag's squad, the visit turned out to be a nightmare for the Red Devils who could not find a way to overcome the opponent from the start, Aston Villa played with a lot of intensity the first minutes of the game, they put a lot of pressure on the attack of the new coach of the local club, Unai Emery, who studied Manchester United in detail.
There were not many options for Erik ten Hag's team to take the lead, they had the possession of the ball, but they could not make their partnerships in the match, the great Argentine central defender Lisandro Martinez had a serious mistake that ended in a Villa goal, they exerted pressure to provoke this mistake which was very significant in the match, the first 20 minutes of both games were the home team's. The club's offense was limited in the first 20 minutes of the match.
Will not consider him captain of the team, has his reasons for not trusting him
They want to sign this player to play with Lisandro, Maguire didn't perform
The club's attack was limited for the second game in a row, with the absence of Antony and Jadon Sancho weighing heavily as they relied on playing Garnacho on one side, who has not had the necessary Premier League experience, and Marcus Rashford on the other side who was without options due to the lack of passing from the team, and the 37-year-old Portuguese star, who missed his shots at times, struggled to find his feet and was the team's captain.
The midfield could not stand out in this game because of the lack of an important player like Bruno Fernandes, he is the main captain of the club, the creator of the game to create chances with his team commas, he is the engine of the offensive midfield, and it was noticed that Donny van de Beek was very far from replacing him in a great way, he failed in many key plays, he could not prove for the second consecutive game that he is fit for the team.
Since the player has started the team has grown in possession, they concede fewer goals, they are more effective in passing, the fans recognised that once again he rose to the occasion, he has connected well when Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen, who are the team's starters, are in the line-up, they are fundamental when these three play together, Fernandes was out for accumulation of yellow cards.
