Manchester United will be praying that Tuesday’s incredible comeback against Roma proves a turning point in their troubled season and they can build on that by beating Aston Villa. The visitors are coming off a disappointing Premier League draw at home to Fulham and a chastening 3-0 loss at Barcelona in the Champions League, plus they have a poor record at Old Trafford.
After such a big momentum swing in midweek, we’re sticking with the Red Devils to prevail at 23/20 for our first Man Utd vs Aston Villa prediction.

If the Red Devils could combine their first half at Chelsea with the second period versus Roma, anything would still be possible in this crazy campaign. Lisandro Martínez is suspended due to his meltdown after the break at Stamford Bridge and the usual defensive failings were fully exposed early on in Tuesday’s Champions League tie as United fell 2-0 behind.
However, Michael Carrick’s men received a much-needed slice of good luck when Bruno Fernandes was allowed to fire in a retaken penalty and then Cunha sparked wild celebrations with a late double to make it 3-2. “Proud of the players,” commented Carrick. “I think they deserve a lot of credit for pulling through that in a tough situation… It ’s one win, so we’re not getting too carried away with things, but it was an important one for us.”
Carrick will hopefully have seen the benefit of maintaining a front three, with Shea Lacey’s late cameo full of promise, while the returning Kobbie Mainoo brought more creativity to midfield, even if losing Carlos Baleba to injury is a blow. Cunha has always been the type of player to thrive on confidence and he loves facing Villa, scoring at home and away against them for United last term and in both Midlands derbies for Wolves the season before.
Looking at the Man Utd vs Aston Villa odds, 2/1 for the Brazil international to net at any time here has obvious appeal.
Aston Villa Form Guide
Villa looked in great shape when beating Manchester City to make it four straight wins last month but things have gone wrong since then. A 3-0 EFL Cup defeat at Bournemouth can be forgiven after Unai Emery made wholesale changes, but a 1-1 home draw with Fulham in the Premier League was more worrying.
Nicolas Jackson continued his good run of form with a 39 th -minute opener after John McGinn had missed a penalty, but the Cottagers more than held their own throughout that match and equalised when Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki dropped the ball into his own net. Villa were then brushed aside by Barca at Camp Nou, albeit Matty Cash, Victor Lindelöf and Johan Manzambi did have chances in an open encounter.
“There’s still work to do to get to this level,” admitted Emery, whose side had a tiring night with just 35 per cent of the possession against such fluid opponents. The visitors are sure to have their moments in this match, but we’re going with a BOYLE Sports price boost of 11/4 for a home win and both teams to score to finish off our Man Utd vs Aston Villa betting tips.
