Man United take on Aston Villa in the English Premier League on Thursday and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has prepared his players about keeping an eye on Jack Grealish.
Jack Grealish has been one of the best players in the English top division this season, scoring seven and assisting six goals in 31 league matches and according to the Man United manager, he along with El Ghazi could cause a few headaches for his side at Villa Park this week.
He said in his press conference: “Well I think in the last game obviously they caused us some problems, both Grealish off the left and El Ghazi off the right.
“He [Grealish] caused us problems, he scored a fantastic goal, so there’s been lots said and talked about him and we need to be aware of him.
“Whoever is close to him, if he’s off the left, or he’s in the middle, on the right, what he does is attract players to him and creates space for others. There’s not just one player in that Villa team, there are many of them.
“I think they’ve shown since the lockdown that they can hold their own. They have been tight games, the games they’ve had.
“You can see that they have clearly worked on their shape and their counter attacks are one of the most powerful ones in the league.
“They spring quickly, so you’ve got to be ready for that and set plays, good deliveries and good first contact players. And of course, there are some individual players there.”
Man United are yet to lose a match since the season restarted but Aston Villa played some pretty stable football against Liverpool last week. While no one is really expecting them to cause an upset but if they can repeat that same performance against Man United on Thursday then they might be able to pick up something from this match.
