Manchester United vs Aston Villa player Ratings: Jonny Evans MOTM

Manchester United secured a point at Villa Park against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa side in a goalless 0-0 draw. 

There was huge pressure on Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag heading into the Aston Villa clash with the potential of losing his job if he suffered another defeat.

The Red Devils were unable to create many chances or threaten the Aston Villa goal but came closest through captain Bruno Fernandes’ freekick hitting the crossbar in the second half.

Ten Hag will be hoping that his side’s defensive display in front of Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be enough to save his job for the time being.

Manchester United face Brentford at home after the International break.
