That’s another questionable VAR decision in the liverpool game. Didn’t look to be any contact and defender’s reaction would tell you as much.

Wasn't a VAR decision, was that clown Tierney, couldn't wait to give a free for a non-existant foul.

yeah but VAR checked it and upheld the decision. It was clearly not a foul and he should at least have been asked to look at it pitchside.

I think the ref blew the whistle before the ball went into the net so I'm not sure there was a VAR check was there?

He waited until it went in. He told Burnley to hold for the VAR check, which went on for the guts of a minute.

For anyone who already dislikes Manchester United, the pictures of 'Sir David Brailsford', the champion of `cough` the Marginal Gains philosophy at Team Sky back in the day will give you another villain to boo. Be interesting to see if his "performance enhancement"methods catch on in the EPL....

400 minutes without a goal in all competitions and now United have gone behind.

Hard to see them getting anything tonight considering how well Villa are playing in general.

Aston Villa appear to have gone 1-0 up against Man United at Old Trafford. Free kick from out on the wing went straight in without any contact.

McDermotX

ManU are pretty septic

0-2

Like the most obvious corner kick ever

sligeach

And just like that it's 2-0 to Villa after 26 minutes. This time the goal comes from a corner. Non existent marking from United players.

Truly awful defending. Completely unmarked at the far post. The boos are getting fairly loud.

The space allowed to the Villa players was atrocious.

hynesie08

7 more and villa are top of the league.......

loyatemu

Give it to Olé till end of season (I'm only half joking)

And Ten Hag isn't the problem......

Man U closer to the Relegation zone than the top of the table in terms of points as it stands.

6 more goals conceded by United and they'll have the same goal difference as Luton Town, who are in the bottom 3, and who have scored more goals than Man United.

Looks a good move with Garnacho moved to the right.

‘And they’ve had a huge amount of injuries.

‘it’s not like they have other players who should be getting game time. They just have a poor collection of players. Over the course of the season I think they have actually got more points than they are worth, a few late winners. With all the injuries there is an argument that ETH has gotten them more points than they are worth.

Not that he hasn’t made some mistakes of course.

‘They should play the system they did v Liverpool (very successfully) against everyone.

Villa look very comfortable although Rashford has actually looked somewhat dangerous for a change and you feel he might be Uniteds best chance of a goal.

sligeach

The boys of the AVFC choir

Still singing Kum Bay Ya

And the boos are ringing out

McDermotX

Looked offside in real-time

Get the lines out. Been a habit of not showing the lines of late.

Aye. Off.

sligeach

That looked offside to me on first viewing.

Not surprising. They were awful in the first half with silly offsides. 6 to Villa's 0.

Digne going off injured is a big loss for Villa.

The still image looked very close to me. Do we not get to see the lines anymore?

ShamoBuc

Exactly what United didn't need, it looked off but you never know.

Intent was better though.

slumdogemillionaire

Awful from Garnacho

I think a big positive from United perspective is Garnacho on the right is the way to go. And he finished it really well. But he should have held his run slightly, no need for him to be off

McDermotX

Nothing wrong with Martinez there

ctrl-alt-delete

Nothing there, Goalkeeper cleared the ball cleanly first.

hynesie08

Beautiful tackle.
