ManchesterUnited stumbled to back-to-back draws in the Premier Adoree' Jackson Jersey League after being held2-2 by newly promoted Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Villans managed to outplay the hosts through chunks of the game, as Jack Grealishs brilliant effort gave them an early lead before a Tom Heaton own-goal and Victor Lindelofs strike completed the comeback for the Red Devils. But Tyrone Mings then equalized for the visitors, as United failed to move up into fifth place with another disappointing draw. Their defensive worries were palpable, but the way Aston Villa bypa sed their midfielders with ease caused real problems. With Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City ahead, this was an unfortunate setback to their momentum. Here arethree things we learnt Jack Hoiberg Jersey from the eventful draw. Juan Mata isnt cut out for Solskjaers systemEven afterJe se Lingard had broken his duck by scoring against FC Astana on Thursday, OleGunnar Solskjaer decided to run the gauntlet in starting Juan Mata againstAston Villa. It turned out a distasteful decision, as the Spaniard was bulliedby Villas physicality throughout. He failed towin physical duels against the much younger Villa stars and barely saw much ofpo se sion. Despite moving into space at times, his final delivery was horriblyoff, with his scuffles frustrating the Old Trafford faithful even more. Mata is tooslow for this fast-paced attacking system and is well beyond his best years. Startinghim in crucial Premier League games after this would be extremely foolish fromthe Norwegian.Aston Villas stars wont be here for longAston Villa arrived at Old Trafford with a sense of fearle sne s inscribed in them, as they looked amped in taking the game to the Red Devils right from the get-go. Jack Grealish proved why hes Freddie Swain Jersey touted so highly with a sublime curling goal. He was also on the pitch, as United just couldnt contain his flair on the ball. John McGinnwas tenacious as ever, carrying the ball forward with vigour and creating somedecent chances as well. His box-to-box presence is everything United lack.Tyrone Mings kept Anthony Martial quiet throughout the game. His thumping goalwas the perfect cherry on top. What this encouraging performance proved was that these Villa stars are ready for the spotlight. Mings and McGinn will both probably be swooned Mike Ramsay Jersey away next season, while Grealish could leave too. But as long as theyre here, Dean Smiths side will continue thriving off their brilliance. Manchester United desperately need to sign midfielders inJanuaryWhile Fredand Andreas Pereiras nightmare at Sheffield United was pushed under the rugknowing the Blades impre sive run this season, they were again carved apart byVillas Moral Stephens Jersey midfielders. They look cluele sand disillusioned as a pair in midfield, allowing the visitors to storm pastthem to expose their backline. As much as Solskjaer , he needs to make midfield signings in January. Be it someone like Sporting Lisbons influential Bruno Fernandes or even Declan Rice, they need stronger characters in their midfield core. Unle s they sign more influential midfielders, theyll never be able to attain the ring of dominance Solskjaer craves for.
