Manchester United has really got to like their chances tomorrow when they host Aston Villa, given the recent history in this fixture. United have lost just once in their last 24 Premier League contests against AVFC, and that was way back in December of 2009.
Should United win tomorrow it would make it 13 of the last 14 and seven in a row over the Villans at the theatre of dreams. So with that in mind, let’s take a look at who Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may select in his first team, in hopes of taking all three points from this one. Anything short of a convincing victory would be a total disaster as Villa are a lower tier side and United are struggling to secure European football qualification again.
