Manchester United will face Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon in the first of their final six Premier League matches of the season.
The Reds were victorious in the reverse fixture earlier this term, with Adnan Januzaj netting the only goal in a 1-0 win at Villa Park.
That was only the second Premier League game of the season but was typical of how the Reds have performed under Louis van Gaal this term. United controlled the possession and remained solid at the back but looked unimaginative in attacking areas, although they did manage to convert one of few chances on this occasion.
