At 3:55 a.m. Beijing time on January 11, the third round of the Fa Cup is about to usher in the final match, which is played by Manchester United at home against Aston Villa. Recently, manchester United is in an unbalanced state, players and managers are not in harmony, will affect the next Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and other matches, the FA Cup is a single-game elimination system, Manchester United lost, meaning that there is no chance of championship competition in advance.
Manchester United will face Premier League side Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup. In the history of the FA Cup, Manchester United have won 12 titles, ranking second, second only to Arsenal's 14 titles, and the last time the Red Devils won the title was in 2016, and there have been no wins for five consecutive years since then.
United's last match was a 1-0 home defeat to Wolves on 4 January, the first time the team lost to Wolves at home in the Premier League and the second loss in 42 years. Since then, there has been a problem of locker room discord in the Manchester United team, and split into multiple small groups, and the star C Ronaldo was exposed to be dissatisfied with manager Lonnick, and also told the club executives about the idea of transfer.
Halfway through the season, United have not performed as well as last season. At present, the Premier League has accumulated 31 points in 19 rounds, ranking seventh, 22 points behind the top of the table in the second round of the junior round, the championship is hopeless, and the first round of the junior round is behind the top four4 points, and it is equally difficult to compete for the Champions League qualification. The League Cup team is out early, the Champions League has reached the round of sixteen, will play against Atletico Madrid, with the strength and form of the Red Devils, it is difficult to go far in the Champions League, let alone win the title.
United's most promising title now is the FA Cup, so the team can't afford to lose. In the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United sat at home against Aston Villa, and the two teams met on 25 September last year, and Manchester United lost 1-0 at home.
According to statistics, Manchester United's record at home against Aston Villa in the past 10 years has been overall dominant, with 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 9 games, from 3-1 to 0-1, and the only loss is this season. Now the Red Devils are in unstable form, Aston Villa is led by Gerrard as a guest, and the suspense of this game is not small.
Once the FA Cup is lost, then Manchester United will hardly win any title this season, and they need to be mentally prepared for the four major voids.
Entering 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet scored, and if he scores against Aston Villa, he will complete the feat of scoring goals for 19 consecutive natural years of his career. The contradictory rumors between C Ronaldo and coach Lonnick will also affect the play of the game.
