Manchester United wrap up their pre-season tour down under with an all-Premier League tie against Aston Villa on Saturday.

After victories against Melbourne Victory and Crystal Palace in Melbourne, the Old Trafford outfit finish their trip to Australia at the Optus Stadium in Perth.

We’ve learnt a fair bit about what we can expect from the Red Devils under Erik Ten Hag in the past few weeks – from both their activity in the transfer market and their performances in friendlies – but as the start of the Premier League campaign edges nearer we should be seeing more and more of the Dutchman’s ideology out there on the pitch.

There are still friendlies with Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano to come once they return to Europe but they have one last game down under before that.

Villa caused Man Utd some problems last season – beating them at Old Trafford and coming back from two-down to draw at Villa Park – and have made some impressive signings in what is Steven Gerrard’s first summer transfer window at the helm.

Pre-season or not, Gerrard would no doubt love to get one over a club that he battled so passionately against as a player and that may be reflected by his team’s display.
