Erik ten Hag picked out “brilliant” Victor Lindelof for praise after his showing in Manchester United ’s slender win against Aston Villa.
The Red Devils edged past the Midlands side 1-0 at Old Trafford with Bruno Fernandes netting the decisive goal. Victory edges Ten Hag’s men towards a place in the Champions League with one of their growing rivals for a top four place downed.
The clash against Villa was expected to be a testing one given their displays under Unai Emery and the electric form that Bayern Munich target Ollie Watkins found himself in. However, United managed to keep them at bay.
