Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
42. Now Kobbie Mainoo goes into the book!
This is the harshest yellow of United’s three, it has to be said.
The young midfielder slides in to win the ball, but such is his determination that he follows through and catches Youri Tielemans.
Along with Harry Maguire, both of United’s midfield pivot are now on bookings.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
40. Five minutes until half-time and it has been a game of very few chances.
In fact when I say few, I probably mean none; Rogers’ shot at a push, but both teams have recorded less than 0.2 xG so far.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
38. After a wait of anticipation, Digne wastes the free-kick by curling it straight at Onana at the near post.
Villa Park groans as one.

36. A booking for Harry Maguire! And he’s not happy about it!
The Manchester United defender raises an arm into the face of Ollie Watkins as he pushed past him on the right, and it instantly had the linesman flagging.
Maguire remonstrates with the assistant and then referee Rob Jones to such an extent than Leon Bailey has to hold him back.
United now have two players on yellow cards following Christian Eriksen’s early caution.

34. Better from Villa!
Mazraoui does well to cut out a Barkley pass intended for Philogene, only for the home side to keep the attack alive.
A deep cross from the left looks perfect for Bailey, but the Jamaican miscues on the volley at the far post.

32. Evans steps in to thwart another Villa break, and then decides to push forward as an overlapping option on the counter.
The Northern Irishman doesn’t get a return, but when the home side turn it over, he doesn’t give up.
Rushign back, Evans is eventually the man to divert a Morgan shot behind for a corner.
Superb stuff from the 36-year-old.
