Kickoff time was moved forward to allow a concert by The Courteeners to take place at Old Trafford later, but the Red Devils are singing a cheerful tune of their own right now.
They sit at the top of the EPL table, tied on 13 points with Chelsea and Liverpool and yet to lose in the league. They had a bit of a rollercoaster ride this week, first beating West Ham United in Premier League action, then losing to them in the Carabao Cup clash. But that's unlikely to have much bearing on this game: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer completely rotated his starting lineup, giving Cristiano Ronaldo, David De Gea, and Raphael Varane a rest.
All three return here as Solskjaer names an unchanged team from the one that beat West Ham last weekend.
Aston Villa's entire season so far has been a rollercoaster ride. They sit in the middle of the table, with two wins, two losses and a draw. This week has proven to be up and down, as well; Dean Smith's side prevailed over Everton in their last league action, but just missed out to Chelsea in a penalty-kick thriller of a Carabao Cup match.
The team are still establishing their identity in the post-Jack Grealish era, but new stars Emiliano Martinez and Emiliano Buendia have stepped up — although Buendia is on the bench here. Leon Bailey is another recent signing who's impressed recently, but he'll miss the next few games due to injury. Axel Tuanzebe also misses out, as he's on loan from Man Utd, with Kortney Hause playing instead.
Here's how they line up:
Manchester United: de Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Greenwood, Fernandes, Pogba; Ronaldo.
Aston Villa: Martinez; Konsa, Mings, Hause; Cash, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Ramsey, Targett; Ings, Watkins.
