Manchester United managed to grind out a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa, a result that did little to ease the mounting pressure on manager Erik ten Hag. United’s poor start to the season, their worst in Premier League history, leaves them in 14th place with just eight points from seven games. Despite an improved display and near misses from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, they remain in search of a third win. Meanwhile, Villa’s strong start continues, sitting fifth in the table after a solid performance at home. Both teams had key chances, but defensive efforts, including Diogo Dalot’s last-minute block, ensured a stalemate.
