Video: Sir Alex Ferguson arrives at Villa Park ahead of crucial match

Sir Alex Ferguson has already arrived at Villa Park ahead of a crucial game for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag.

The early Super Sunday kick-off sees United travel to Aston Villa, who go into the game after a memorable 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Who thought we’d see Villa in the Champions League while we’re playing Europa League, eh?

Villa’s manager Unai Emery has been credited by many for turning things around at the Midlands club. They will be hoping to add more points to their tally this afternoon and the momentum is certainly in their favour.

The iconic manager is wasting no time getting into his pre-match spot.

It’s a crucial match for United because Ten Hag is walking a tightrope to keep his job at Old Trafford. The Reds must win today and no excuses will water down the disappointment if we are to lose more ground in the race for top four.
