Got away with one, to put it mildly. Clearly carried ball over the line

1963:

Nice and steady on the right, solid defensivel­y but didn’t attack a lot

1986:

A threat at set-pieces in attack, caused big problems. Solid game

2006:

Looks a giant in the defence and completely bossed the forwards

2007:

Solid at left-back but Baldock pushed him back as it went on

Good delivery from set-pieces and effective at picking out his man

Booked

Shielded the defence to good effect. Picked out his passes well

2009:

2016:

Welcome return to Villa’s midfield, but is clearly lacking sharpness

Worked hard, but just could not find space to make things happen

2018:

Surprise starter, but his power and strength really bullied the Blades

Returned with a mini-pony tail and caught the eye with his touches

Trezeguet (El Ghazi 69) 6; Samatta (Davis 69) 6; Nakamba (Mcginn 76) 6; El Mohamady (Konsa 76) 6

No wonder United want to keep him – superb save to deny Mcginn

Certainly didn’t have it all his own way, with Davis causing problems

Tough game for United’s defence as Villa had power and movement

Solid in defence, pushed further forward as the game wore on

Bit of an unsung hero, United’s Mr Reliable in defence and attack

United’s big hope in midfield, neat and tidy, but not incisive enough

Booked

Got yellow card for blocking a quickly taken free-kick. Daft

Denied what looked a clear goal when his cross went over the line

Very rare for Blades’ defence to have such a tough examinatio­n

Struggled to make inroads against man-mountain Mings. Quiet

Worked hard, but was well marshalled by Villa’s defence

Freeman (Berge 69) 6; Mcgoldrick (Sharp 69) 6; Mousset (Mcburnie 80)
