Trainer Erik ten Hag failed to win the friendly match against Aston Villa with Manchester United. In the Australian Perth, where the field was soggy after a lot of rain, it became 2-2. Villa’s equalizer only came in stoppage time.
Halfway through the game, United led 2-0. Jadon Sancho gave the Ten Hag team the lead and an own goal by Matty Cash made it 2-0. Aston Villa came back after halftime via Leon Bailey and Calum Chambers.
Ten Hag awarded Donny van de Beek a basic place and Tyrell Malacia came on halfway through the second half.
For United it was the first practice match of the preparation that was not won. Liverpool (4-0), Melbourne Victory (4-1) and Crystal Palace (3-1) were defeated.
