Erik ten Hag’s side had failed to score in three of their last four Premier League matches before facing Aston Villa, and they rarely threatened today.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will hope a battling draw at Aston Villa eases pressure on his position.

Before the international break takes hold, there's a pretty big game that needs to take place in the Premier League as Aston Villa and Manchester United are two sides heading in opposite directions following European play.
