Aston Villa and Manchester United shared the spoils in a pulsating and combative affair at Villa Park.
It was a keenly contested affair at Villa Park, as both teams went neck and neck at each other in search of a favorable result.
Manchester United had some chances to alter the scoreline, but an effort from Marcus Rashford in the 5th minute was punched away by goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
Rashford also worked Martinez 3 minutes into the second period, but the Argentine goalie was equal to the task.
Bruno Fernandes saw his effort from a free-kick cannon off the crossbar, with Antony making a mess of the rebound.
Andre Onana also pulled off many impressive saves, palming away a magnificent attempt by Yuri Tielemans.
Ollie Watkins also played in Morgan Rogers at the edge of Manchester United’s box, with the latter smashing a lovely curler towards goal, but his strike went off target.
The two teams are also sweating over the fitness of key players in their set-up, with Ezri Konsa being withdrawn for Aston Villa in the 12th minute due to a hamstring problem.
Diego Carlos came on to replace Konsa and the Brazilian put up an impressive display in the defensive department.
Moreover, Harry Maguire was also taken off at halftime after he sustained an injury late on in the first half.
Victor Lindelof was his replacement and the Swedish defender, who was making his first appearance this campaign, deputize well in Maguire’s absence.
