Aston Villa scores an offside goal. Ings is sent into the box by Buendia. He runs up to De Gea and lobs the goalkeeper. The ball seems to miss, which is why Watkins pushes it over the line. But it was already playing on Ings offside anyway.

22:12
The VAR mission lasted a few minutes and heated tempers. Steven Gerrard doesn’t seem happy with the decision. The fans at Old Trafford feel that their team needs more support. It will be an exciting 35 minutes.

22:09
VAR decision: The goal by D. Ings (Aston Villa) is not given, score: 1: 0
McGinn hits a free-kick cross from the right half area into the penalty area. At the second post, Konsa heads the ball in the middle. Ings is waiting there and he hits the goal with his right knee. Then it takes a few minutes for Michael Oliver to take back the goal because Cavani was illegally blocked by Ramsey. You can definitely decide that.

Manchester arrived in the second half as well. After a safe corner from Bruno Fernandes, Mason Greenwood takes the ball on the left, pulls into the middle and the audience shouts to him: “Shoot!” The Englishman listens to his followers and pulls away from 25 meters. His left-footed shot is no problem for Emiliano Martínez.
47
22:02
In the first few minutes of the second half, Aston Villa was the only one on the ball. The Birmingham team clearly showed that they didn’t want to leave the FA Cup in the third round.

Half-time conclusion
Manchester United go into the break with a 1-0 lead. This result in no way means that Aston Villa couldn’t keep up here, on the contrary. Steven Gerrard’s team was not at all disturbed by the early deficit. They had some good offensive moves and almost equalized with Ollie Watkins. The Red Devils defended it too carelessly at times. But they are always dangerous on the offensive. Rashford, Fernandes and Co. repeatedly used needle sticks. If United makes it 2-0 here, things are probably over, but for now everything is still open for half-time two.
45
21:44
And another great chance for the home side. Marcus Rashford is sent on the right side by a great through pass from Bruno Fernandes. The striker runs into the penalty area and pulls away, but the angle is too acute, this allows a Villa defender to clear the shot.
45
21:43
The individual class from Manchester ensures another nice action. Rashford makes a strong break for Cavani at the height of the penalty area. The Uruguayan cuts the left in the penalty area and plays the free-standing Bruno Fernandes. The noble technician pulls directly with the right outer instep from 23 meters. His shot flies clearly over it, still a good idea.

21:41
Official stoppage time (minutes): 3

21:40
Scott McTominay takes heart and pulls volley from 30 yards. He hits the ball cleanly, but the shot is not hard enough and too central. Emiliano Martínez can hold onto the ball without any problems.
42
21:38
Aston Villa now pushes a little again, but without creating a goal threat. United tries to counterattack. Much noticeable does not come out of it either. The game is pretty muddled now.
38
21:35
United appears again on the offensive. First Greenwood hits a nice cross in the middle, but it is cleared. The ball lands at Bruno Fernandes, who pulls off with his right from 18 meters. His shot is blocked by Mings. The ball then comes to Shaw via detours. The Englishman also tries a long-range shot, which is much more dangerous and forces Martínez to parry. The following corner does not bring anything.
35
21:31
After several minutes of treatment, Diogo Dalot can finally continue. The corner for the Villans comes again on the first post. From there an attempt is made to pass the ball on, but this time the extension of the header ends up in the goal.
32
21:30
And yet another degree for the Villans. This time it is Ramsey who, following Ings, pulls out flat from just behind the penalty area. The shot is deflected by McTominay for a corner. But the corner is a long time coming because Diogo Dalot has to be treated with a cut wound on his leg.
30th
21:27
Great opportunity for Aston Villa! Lindelöf invites Watkins. The Swedish defender is far too carefree in his own penalty area and lets the young attacker steal the ball. With a hook Watkins then goes past Lindelöf and pulls off with his right from close range. His shot flies against the crossbeam.
28
21:25
Edinson Cavani with his first degree in the lot. Bruno Fernandes faked a shot 20 meters from the goal and then played the Uruguayan on the right into the penalty area. Cavani, as you know him, doesn’t hesitate and pulls off straight away with his right hand. Martínez can only parry the hard shot with his fists, but the second ball lands on his defenders.
27
21:24
Aston Villa appears again on the offensive. Buendia and Watkins play a double pass 25 meters in front of the United goal. That gives the Argentinean space to finish. His right-footed shot is not bad, but too unplaced for De Gea. The goalkeeper holds the ball.
25th
21:21
Mason Greenwood graduated from United again. At the right corner of the box, he lets Matty Cash out far too easily. Then he tries to take on the other defenders as well, but gets a little lost in the process. Therefore, under distress, he has to lock from twelve meters on the right in the penalty area. The shot goes clearly wrong.
22nd
21:18
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.
19th
21:16
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.
17th
21:14
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.
14th
21:11
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.
12th
21:09
Jacob Ramsey (Aston Villa) is shown a yellow card
11th
21:08
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.
6th
21:03
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.

21:01
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.

20:59
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.
20:39
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.
20:28
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. “
