Maguire starts, Mount in new role - Manchester United predicted XI vs Aston Villa - gallery

Man Utd face Aston Villa in a pivotal Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.

Erik ten Hag could make some changes to his Manchester United side when they travel to face Aston Villa in the Premier League this weekend.

United will be looking to head into the international break on a high and ease the pressure on under fire manager Ten Hag following their chaotic 3-3 draw with Porto in midweek.

Mason Mount could return from injury having missed the midweek clash with Porto, while Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are both not expected back until later in the month at the earliest.

United could change to a 4-2-2-2 formation to accommodate for Mount's return and might be best doing so in order to get a positive result at Villa Park. Harry Maguire will be looking to build upon his dramatic equaliser in midweek and could be rewarded with a start.

Here is how we think United should line up on Sunday afternoon:
