EFL Cup: Man Utd 0-0 Aston Villa - few chances in first half

Manchester United get a free-kick close to the touchline but Robin Olsen does well to get two hands to the cross from Bruno Fernandes and punch it well clear.

Villa captain John McGinn is then lucky to not have his name taken for a late tackle on Diogo Dalot.

  • Possession lost stats show the quality of football we've seen tonight. It's 62 times possession lost from the hosts and 60 for the visitors.

    Scrappy and not much to get excited about so far.

    Harry Maguire joins Scott McTominay in the book with the England defender, named in Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad earlier today, late to the ball and taking out Ollie Watkins.
