Erik ten Hag explains his starting XI
Erik ten Hag has made one change to United's starting XI for Sunday's Premier League match away at Aston Villa (16:30 GMT).
The Reds delivered one of our best performances of 2023/24 last Sunday, when beating West Ham by three goals to nil, but suffered a huge blow when Lisandro Martinez was substituted due to a knee injury.
The next day, the club confirmed that the Argentinian would miss "at least" eight weeks, so we knew at least one change was coming for this tough fixture at Villa Park.
Erik has kept the team exactly the same, except for Martinez's replacement, and Raphael Varane is the defender that has been chosen to step in.
