Roma Recap. Aston Villa Preview | Bet MUFC (EP. 250)

Manchester United’s comeback win over Roma in midweek snapped a nine-game winless run, and it likely kept Michael Carrick in the dugout a little longer.However, the idea that the Red Devils’ fortunes are about to turn was tempered with the news that the club’s hierarchy would target a permanent appointment should they fire Carrick. That’s hardly a vote of confidence in a side that finally returned to winning ways.


United being in midweek raised a few eyebrows, but it's the same situation again tomorrow. The reason United are favourites for this contest is likely due, in part, to Villa’s awful record at Old Trafford. They’ve lost 11 of their last 13 Premier League visits to this ground, including each of their previous four. However, the hosts are now 18th in the table, so there will be few better opportunities for Villa to seal all three points at Old Trafford.
