Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag could make as many as three changes from the side that beat West Ham in the Premier League last time out for Sunday’s showdown with Aston Villa.

Anthony Martial is edging closer to a return to fitness but the game on Sunday would be a risky one when it comes to unleashing the France international from the start.
Consequently, Cristiano Ronaldo is primed to lead the team in the No 9 position.
And Marcus Rashford will be hoping to build on his century of goals if, as expected, he’s deployed on the left wing.

Ten Hag previews Villa clash
Speaking ahead of the match with Villa, Ten Hag praised his United side for becoming tougher to beat - having kept six clean sheets from their last seven matches.
“Because we defend with 11, starting with Cristiano [Ronaldo] up front,” he quizzed when asked what had triggered the turnaround.
“So we are hard to beat as a team.
“I think that’s a compliment but it’s also that process we have to keep going, that makes it hard to beat us because everyone is convinced of that plan, everyone is disciplined in that plan.
“When we play with the desire and passion, we are hard to beat and that makes us, in this moment, successful.”
