Manchester United are preparing to face Aston Villa in their final match before the November international break, and the first game since the dramatic comeback against AS Roma in the Champions League. 

Matheus Cunha rescued the game after winning a penalty, scoring the equaliser and netting the winner before being sent off at Old Trafford. 

Michael Carrick will know he needs another three points if he wants any chance of remaining in charge of the Red Devils against Liverpool after the break. 

Aston Villa will be a tough test. They have not won any of their last three, including a 3-0 loss to Barcelona last time out, though they have beaten Manchester City this term. 

Unai Emery's side started the new season poorly, but will be confident going into the game. 

Manchester United will host Aston Villa at Old Trafford this weekend – a stadium which Villa haven't won at since November 2022. 

The game is due to kick off on Sunday at 16:30 BST, but more protests are expected after the tennis balls and green and gold balloons in the Stretford End against AS Roma. 

On social media, there have been attempts at a fan walkout after 21 minutes – recognising the 21 years under Glazer ownership. 

Manchester United vs Aston Villa will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event (Sky Channel 401 and Virgin Media Channel 501). 

Pre-match build-up will also be available on Manchester United’s official channel, MUTV, beginning 90 minutes before kick off. 

The UtdDistrict X account will also cover the fixture, providing pre- and post-match quotes from Carrick and the players, as well as live commentary throughout the 90 minutes.

Carlos Baleba will miss the visit of Aston Villa after picking up a hamstring injury in United's 3-2 win in the Champions League. 

Michael Carrick did not confirm the extent of the injury, though they are unlikely to have that confirmed until scans are completed. 

Benjamin Šeško, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford all look set to miss the tie, too, but the latter two could return after the international break, while Šeško's injury is longer-term. 

Patrick Dorgu returned to training on Monday, but not in time to make the Champions League squad against Roma. He could return against Aston Villa. 

As for Villa, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a doubt for the game, which could prove an issue for Unai Emery, given Matty Cash is suspended. 

Matteo Ruggeri will also miss the trip to Manchester with a hamstring problem, which he suffered against Brentford earlier this season.
