Manchester United vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Erik ten Hag’s side host the in-form Aston Villa one day after new bids were made for a club takeover
Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Aston Villa in the Premier League today.
The Red Devils saw new bids for the takeover of the club last night, with Ineos and Qatar offers both coming in for a third round of negotiations. On the pitch, they are looking to return to winning ways after drawing with Spurs in midweek.
United still sit in the top four though and look good for a Champions League return, but Aston Villa are sixth and in great form after five wins in their own last six matches under Unai Emery. They could overtake Spurs today, depending on results.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

SAVE! Chance for Villa. Ramsey has the ball just outside the box and slides a pass into the feet of Buendía. The former Nowich City man gets to the byline on the right and plays a pass through the legs of Shaw and across the box. Watkins is too far ahead of the ball and Dalot pokes it away but only has far as Moreno who blasts a show shot towards the goal. De Gea gets across and blocks his effort.

Fernandes bursts down the right wing to get on the end of a long pass out of the defence and whips a cross into the box. Martinez is in a good position to deal with it, but slips and cannot get there. However, he is lucky as the ball is too far ahead of Sabitzer who cannot get there for a simple finish.
