How to watch Man United vs Aston Villa in Premier League: TV channel, live stream and kick-off time
Aston Villa’s Premier League clash away to Manchester United will be available for fans to watch on TV.
Villa‘s 4-1 loss to Chelsea at Villa Park was incredibly damaging to their Champions League hopes, but they can get themselves back on track if they beat another top-five rival in Michael Carrick’s side.
Unai Emery will take great hope in the fact that his team saw off Lille in the Europa League on Thursday, but he needs his players to step up in the Premier League after a run of three wins in 11 matches.
With Villa only three points clear of sixth-placed Liverpool, they could find themselves out of the Champions League spots at the end of Sunday, which would be bitterly disappointing.
The players will need to be at their best at Old Trafford, and Villa News brings you everything you need to know to watch the game on Sunday afternoon.

Why John McGinn’s return could be difference-maker vs Man United
Having spent eight weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury, McGinn was desperately missed in the team.
He has played as a right-winger this campaign, but his qualities as a tenacious midfielder are a huge bonus for Villa out of possession.
According to Sofascore, he has made 27 tackles and 11 interceptions from a wide position, which is a brilliant return.
| Stat | McGinn |
| Minutes played | 1,607 |
| Pass accuracy | 82.1% |
| Chances created | 24 |
| Ground duels won | 83 |
| Fouls won | 38 |
| Touches | 881 |
With 70 recoveries and 13 clearances, it’s clear that the Scotland international is a huge asset from a defensive standpoint.
However, the fact that he’s won the ball 17 times in the final third is a huge sign that he will improve the team’s fortunes.
He has to start against Man United, and if he does, then the Villans will have a much better chance of securing all three points.
