Manchester United face Aston Villa on Boxing Day in a game that has huge ramifications for Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils are back in action for the first time since Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought a quarter of the club, and the new minority stakeholder, who has taken control of football operations at Old Trafford in the previous few days, will be keeping a tight eye on his under-fire boss.

United have only won one of their past five Premier League games under Ten Hag, and they are eager for three points against high-flying Villa. But it’s not just on the field that things aren’t going well for the Dutchman.
According to multiple reports, Ten Hag is also facing a dressing room mutiny at United, with at least half of his team apparently turning against him, with his playing style and handling of Jadon Sancho cited as major issues.
A solid run of results, on the other hand, might help restore his players’ faith while also showing to Ratcliffe that he is the right man for the job – and it all starts this afternoon at Old Trafford. Express Sport provides you everything you need to know about the game.
Man Utd vs Aston Villa won’t be broadcast live on any terrestrial TV channels. Instead, fans will have to flock to Amazon Prime for full coverage of the game as well as all of the Boxing Day fixtures.
