Man United will resume their Premier League campaign with a trip to Brentford on Saturday.
Manchester United will be hoping to build on their FA Cup triumph over Liverpool when they face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
Though a top four finish remains United's ambition, a fifth-placed finish could be enough to secure Champions League qualification ahead of next season. It means the race for a spot in Europe's premier club competition could become very heated as we move into the business end of the campaign. Furthermore, the trip to the Gtech Community Stadium also marks the first of three crunch Premier League matches in the space of nine days. United face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next Thursday and then renew their rivalry with Liverpool at Old Trafford three days later.
Not only a class defender, the Argentine is also key to United's style of play and build-up from deep. He possesses ball-playing credentials that no other member of United's defensive pool has. When United faced Liverpool over the weekend prior to the international break, Villa drew 1-1 at West Ham United and Spurs were beaten 3-0 by Fulham. In a dream scenario for United, a win for them and defeats for the aforementioned duo would see them move to within six points of Villa and three of Spurs.
