Aston Villa have shown great composure so far this season, with Unai Emery’s side functioning well as a cohesive unit. Players like Emiliano Buendía, Morgan Rogers, and Ollie Watkins have worked effectively together, contributing consistently across the pitch.
Manchester United, on the other hand, have begun to find their rhythm but are yet to fully translate it into consistent execution, despite having four different goal scorers in their last four matches.
Based on the head-to-head record between the two sides, we are backing Manchester United to win this match.
