Manchester United Welcome Aston Villa

Sir Alex Ferguson

Manchester United coach Sir Alex Fer­guson is con­fid­ent that the club will solve their defens­ive prob­lems and win the Barclays Premier League title. Next up for Manchester United is the cru­cial clash with Alex McLeish´s releg­a­tion strug­gling Aston Villa at Old Traf­ford, which the reign­ing league cham­pi­ons quite simply need to win.

After the morale-sapping defeat to Wigan Ath­letic at DW Sta­dium in mid­week, Sir Alex Ferguson´s troops pre­pare to take on Aston Villa at Old Traf­ford this week­end. The last time Aston Villa and Manchester United played each other was at Villa Park back in Decem­ber 2011, and The Manchester Reds ran out nar­row 1–0 win­ners cour­tesy of an early first half goal from ver­sat­ile defender Phil Jones. The Birm­ing­ham out­fit are cur­rently placed 15th in the Eng­lish Premier League table and only six points clear of the releg­a­tion zone, hav­ing won just one of their pre­vi­ous ten matches. On paper, the Manchester United play­ers should dom­in­ate the con­test and secure three import­ant points.
