Marcus Rashford tested Emiliano Martinez early on in a half of very few chances. United were forced into a change at half-time after Harry Maguire hobbled off. Matthijs de Ligt came on for the injured Maguire and Victor Lindelof was also introduced in place of Noussair Mazraoui.

It was certainly not the big Sunday afternoon clash that many had hoped that they would see as Aston Villa and Manchester United shared a goalless draw.
