Manchester United are under pressure to improve quickly in 2021/22 with Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round coming up next.

United have slid to seventh in the Premier League table following a defeat to Wolves on Monday night this week.

Ralf Rangnick is under pressure to steady the ship and steer it back into European football contention. His chances of landing the job on a longer-term basis will only continue to narrow if he can’t extract more from his key players.

Villa have been all-or-nothing this term so far with seven wins, 11 defeats and just one draw in the Premier League.

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard will be desperate to pile the misery on United as he rolls up to Old Trafford for the first time as a manager.

Our prediction: Man Utd v Aston Villa

United’s squad appears to be in disarray. All snippets, interview clips and noises coming from experienced players such as Luke Shaw paint a less than perfect picture behind the scenes.

They go into this game under pressure to perform, though the FA Cup is simply not their priority in 2021/22.

Villa are unlikely to be drawn into a European football fight or relegation battle, but the FA Cup really is a competition they could go far in. They will field a strong XI and could round off the weekend’s action with an upset.

Our prediction: Man Utd 1-2 Aston Villa (14/1 at bet365)
