Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Aston Villa

The Red Devils recorded a 1-0 victory over West Ham United in the league last weekend before beating Real Sociedad by the same scoreline in the Europa League on Thursday.

However, Erik ten Hag's side did not do enough to top their Europa League group, meaning that the team will have to play a playoff next February to determine whether they will be present in the round of 16.

Man United are currently fifth in the Premier League table, one point behind fourth-placed Newcastle United, who have played a game more than the 20-time English champions.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Aston Villa, who currently sit down in 16th position in the division.
