Dalot is hacked down by Digne, just outside the box on United's right. He's rightly booked for that one.

United with another threatening set=piece opportunity.

22 mins

Sanson brings down Elanga in the Villa box. VAR are checking it, but it's deemed not a penalty. 

Cavani flashes a ball across the box, but no-one is there to get on the end of it. 

United are looking lively, much more so than recently seen under Rangnick. 

5:53PM
20 mins

Greenwood starts a counter attack up the right. It's a really strong run, beating a couple of opposition players, and he's able to spread it to Fernandes in the middle. But Villa are back quickly and are able to keep United at bay in the end. 

5:50PM
17 mins

Telles whips a ball in towards Cavani in the Villa box. It breaks to Greenwood on the right side of the box, but Martinez comes sprinting out to deny him and it's out for a United corner.

The Villa keeper somewhat redeemed himself there after his early howler.

Fernandes is getting involved in plenty of United attacks here. He's spreading the ball well, probing openings to carve open Villa's defence.

Sanson tries to skip past the United defence, cutting inside, but he runs into trouble before he's able to play Cash through on his right.

5 mins GOAL! Aston Villa 0-1 Manchester United

Bruno Fernandes! A horrendous mistake from Martinez to put United ahead.

Telles takes a touch with the free kick, Fernandes takes the ball and moves towards the box, unleashing a shot from outside.

It looks like Martinez is to it, but he doesn't expect the bounce and drops between his legs and over the goal line!

Sanson brings down Telles on the left for another United free kick on the left side.

Plenty of set pieces for the visitors in these opening few minutes. Can they capitalise?

5:34PM
2 mins

Konsa thumps the ball behind for an early United corner.

It's headed away and we've got a follow-up. Villa clear again for a throw-in on United's left side.

United win a free kick on the left. Telles curls it in, but Watkins is there to cover. Danger averted for now.

Kick off!

Man United get us under way.
