EFL Cup -  At home against Aston Villa Manchester United face a chance for revenge


"Red Devils" Manchester United lost 1-3 to Aston Villa, coached by new coach Emery, in the 15th round of the Premier League earlier, and lost to Aston on the road again after 27 years.  However, Manchester United will face Aston Villa at Old Trafford in the third round of the EFL Cup tomorrow, so Ten Hag will never miss the opportunity for revenge.


After an unfortunate 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa last week, Manchester United are only fifth in the Premier League table with 23 points, and Villa manager Unai Emery's debut also ushered in a victory. In the process of the game between the two sides, the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who played the whole game, was unable to score again. He only scored 1 goal in the past 10 Premier League matches.


However, this time back to the familiar Old Trafford stadium to fight, Manchester United will strive to achieve revenge in this game in order to advance to the last 16. The last time the two sides met in the cup (FA Cup), Manchester United finally defeated Aston Villa 1-0 after relying on McTominay to score the only goal of the game at home.


In addition, after this game, Manchester United will go to the Premier League this weekend to beat newly-promoted Fulham away, and then will enter the Qatar World Cup truce until December 28th at home against newly-promoted Nottingham Forest.
