Manchester United face Aston Villa at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Saturday 23 July, in our fourth match of Tour 2022.

United come into this fixture in fine form, having won all three games on Tour 2022 so far, scoring an impressive 11 goals along the way. 
 
This will be the last game for Ten Hag’s side in Australia, before we head back to Manchester, and then on to Oslo to face Atletico Madrid on 30 July.

HOW'S VILLA'S FORM?

Aston Villa began their pre-season playing a fixture in England against Walsall, before travelling out to Australia to compete in – and win – the Queensland Champions Cup. They beat Leeds United 1-0 and then defeated Brisbane Roar by the same scoreline, after England youth internationals Kaine Kesler-Hayden and Cameron Archer combined for the latter to score the winning goal.

Villa are unbeaten during pre-season, with head coach Gerrard taking many positives from the previous games. So the Midlanders will hope to continue their strong form against the Reds on Saturday.

Villa’s tour squad: Emiliano Martínez, Robin Olsen, Oliwier Zych, Filip Marschall, Ashley Young, Tyrone Mings, Lucas Digne, Ezri Konsa, Calum Chambers, Diego Carlos, Matty Cash, Frederic Guilbert, Ludwig Augustinsson, Josh Feeney, Kaine Kesler Hayden, Ben Chrisene, Philippe Coutinho, Boubacar Kamara, Douglas Luiz, John McGinn, Jacob Ramsey, Emiliano Buendía, Leon Bailey, Marvelous Nakamba, Morgan Sanson, Bertrand Traoré, Jaden Philogene-Bidace, Tim Iroegbunam, Aaron Ramsey, Ollie Watkins, Danny Ings, Keinan Davis, Cameron Archer.
