Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Aston Villa in the Premier League today.

The Red Devils saw new bids for the takeover of the club last night, with Ineos and Qatar offers both coming in for a third round of negotiations. On the pitch, they are looking to return to winning ways after drawing with Spurs in midweek.

United still sit in the top four though and look good for a Champions League return, but Aston Villa are sixth and in great form after five wins in their own last six matches under Unai Emery. They could overtake Spurs today, depending on results.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Villa look for a quick response. Luiz has the ball in the middle of the pitch and sends a pass down the left to Moreno. The left-back pushes it past Dalot who slides in but sends the ball out for a goal-kick.
