Manchester United make Kobbie Mainoo decision as starting line up vs Aston Villa confirmed
Man Utd have confirmed their starting XI to face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Kobbie Mainoo has missed Manchester United’s trip to face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon due to injury.
United will hope to bounce back with a win after their chaotic 4-4 draw with AFC Bournemouth at the start of the week and have made three changes from the last match. Manuel Ugarte is selected in midfield, with Patrick Dorgu and Benjamin Sesko both bought into the line up.
Ruben Amorim's side are without Noussair Mazraoui, Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo due to their participation in the Africa Cup of Nations, while Casemiro is suspended after he picked up a yellow card in the Bournemouth draw. United are unbeaten in their last four matches while Aston Villa have won their last six Premier League games, and their last nine in all competitions.
