Man Utd travel to face Aston Villa in the Premier League this weekend and they will be without three first-team players.

United will have to be better defensively for the upcoming clash than they were for the home clash with Bournemouth on Monday night if they are to take anything from the side currently third in the league table.
Although they led 2-1 at half-time against The Cherries, United were behind shortly after the restart thanks to goals from Evanilson and Marcus Tavernier. Things got even worse when United picked up a key yellow card in the build-up to the third goal that will cost them against Villa this weekend.

It means he will serve a one-match ban but be available for selection when they host Newcastle in the Premier League on Boxing Day.
Ruben Amorim took no further chances with Casemiro when the veteran midfielder was replaced by Kobbie Mainoo on the hour-mark with United behind 3-2 in the match.
