US EditionManchester United Make Kobbie Mainoo Decision as Starting Line up vs Aston Villa Confirmed
Manchester United adjust tactics with Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko stepping in amid four key absences due to Africa Cup of Nations and suspension, manager Ruben Amorim said.
- On Sunday, Aston Villa host Manchester United at Villa Park with kick-off 4:30pm on Sunday 21 December, and Manchester United aim to return to winning ways.
- The absences stem from three players—Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui—on Africa Cup of Nations duty, Casemiro suspended for one match, and Kobbie Mainoo sidelined by a small training injury.
- In terms of replacements, Mason Mount looks set to replace Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko is in contention after a knee injury, while Manuel Ugarte has been poor since arriving from Paris Saint‑Germain and needs to improve.
- Villa head into the game third with nine successive wins and marginal favourite odds via Betfair, while United must avoid defeat seeking Champions League qualification.
- United will monitor transfer options next month, targeting Antoine Semenyo who has a 65million release clause, while Kobbie Mainoo could face a loan but Amorim urges him to stay.
