The game takes a short break. Manchester let the ball run in their own ranks and Villa doesn’t really bother them either. So it goes from right to left and back again and again.

McGinn takes a long-range shot that is impressive. The midfielder is known to like to fire from a distance. Still, United leaves him too much space 25 meters in front of goal. So the number 7 pulls off with her left foot. His tight flick flies in the direction of the right angle, but is too unplaced. De Gea can save the ball with a nice flight save to the side.

The Villans do this well here. They disturb Manchester early on and also dare to move forward. The early leadership of the Red Devils has by no means resulted in this game being decided directly. The game has been very entertaining so far.

Buendia has the next good move for Aston Villa. The Argentine runs towards Manchester’s defensive chain with the ball. Fred cannot bother him decisively and neither a defense attorney can stop him. So he goes into the box and pulls from the left. The angle and distance are unfavorable, so his shot clearly misses the far post in the end.

Aston Villa is responding well. Only a few minutes after the goal, the Villans have a corner. The flank is drawn onto the captain Mings, who lengthened his head. At the second post, Watkins only needed to push in, but Lindelöf forged the ball so that Watkins didn’t hit it properly and the attempt missed the goal.

Goal for Manchester United, 1-0 through Scott McTominay
United take the early lead. After a corner, the Red Devils conquer the second ball. On the right side, Greenwood plays on Fred, who starts from the half-field with left to the flank. His sharp cross flies towards the six-yard box, where his six-mate McTominay is waiting. The Scot has way too much space and heads the ball into the goal next to the left post.

Scott McTominay got the first conclusion of the game. Marcus Rashford tries to pull away 30 meters in front of the goal, but is blocked. The ball bounces to McTominay, who is also on it from a similar distance. His long-range shot is not a problem for the Aston Villa keeper.

United has so far only played on the left side. Again it is Luke Shaw who stages Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese crosses from the half-field, but the ball lands in the arms of Emiliano Martínez.

The home side appear for the first time in the opposing penalty area. Luke Shaw plays a good long ball from the left into the barrel of Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese tries to control the ball just before the baseline but is disturbed by a defender. The ball flies out and there is a kick. Fernandes stays there for a moment, but there is no whistle for that on the island.

Steven Gerrard was apparently quite happy with his team despite the 2-1 loss to Brentford on January 2. In contrast to this game, he only exchanges two players in his starting XI. Captain Tyrone Mings replaces Kortney home in central defense. In addition, Ollie Watkins will start on the wing instead of Bertrand Traoré.
20:38
Ralf Rangnick does not leave the weak performance against Wolverhampton unanswered. The coach is changing his starting line-up to five positions. In central defense, Victor Lindelöf starts instead of Phil Jones. In the right-back position, Diogo Dalot can start for Aaron Wan-Bissaka today. On the six, Nemanja Matic is replaced by Fred. And on the offensive, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford join the team for the ailing Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho. Good for those who have such players up their sleeves.

Aston Villa started 2022 with a defeat, but the mood at the Villans is still much better. On November 11, 2021, Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard took over the coaching job from Dean Smith. Previously, the club had lost five games in a row in the Premier League. The 41-year-old got the team out of the crisis. Of the first six games under his leadership, four were won. The intense days towards the end of the year were less successful again. Therefore, the team from Birmingham travels to Manchester with two defeats in a row.
20:23
At Manchester United, the mood is currently in the basement. In the first game of the new year, interim coach Ralf Rangnick’s team lost 1-0 at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Allegedly, the methods of the German trainer cause displeasure among some players. His star striker Marcus Rashford only recently kept his back on Twitter: “We are all dissatisfied with the latest performance and also with the reporting, which not only shows our commitment to the manager and the coaching staff, but also to the club Question. I have endless respect for both of them and I look forward to improving my game under the coaching staff. “
