Manchester United vs Aston Villa prediction 15.03.2026 | Premier League

Manchester United's season has been a disaster until the appointment of their former midfielder and present caretaker manager, Michael Carrick. Under him, the Red Devils finally started winning games regularly and even won games against some really good competition. However, that good seven-game unbeaten run came to an end in the previous game, losing 2:1 to Newcastle. 

After the loss to Newcastle, coach Michael Carrick spoke to the media. He said the result hurts and that he is bitterly disappointed with how the game went. He said they had control of the game but failed to take advantage after Newcastle went down to ten players. The young coach eventually admitted Newcastle deservedly won the match.

For the upcoming game, the team should have no new injuries, but the ones who missed the previous games should remain sidelined - Mason Mount, Lisandro Martinez, Patrick Dorgu, and Matthijs de Ligt.

Aston Villa have been amazing under Unai Emery in recent seasons and are doing a really good job once again. The popular Villans are in 4th place in the Premier League with 51 points from 29 rounds. However, we must acknowledge that their form is slowly dropping and that they desperately need points to keep themselves in the top four. At the moment, the 5th-placed Chelsea are only three points away from them. Still, a win over Lille in their previous Europa League game could help them turn the negative momentum around.

After a 1:0 win over Lille, coach Unai Emery spoke to the media. He said it was a demanding match away from home and praised their defensive work. However, the coach said that it is only a small advantage and that the job is not finished yet. 

Jadon Sancho will be unavailable for the match, since he is on a loan deal from Manchester United. Moreover, Youri Tielemans, Matty Cash, Boubacar Kamara, and Andres Garcia Robledo should remain sidelined with injuries.
