Kobbie Mainoo warns Aston Villa about Manchester United’s threat ahead of clash

Kobbie Mainoo stressed that Manchester United can pose a threat and change the course of matches ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa. His comments came after United’s 3-2 Champions League win over Roma, in which the team came from behind.

Mainoo said manager Michael Carrick had asked the players to show more initiative and control the game, adding that he hoped the momentum would continue for the rest of the season. He also pointed to the improved atmosphere within the group after the win and to the players’ desire to repay the fans’ support on the pitch.

The Aston Villa match follows a victory the report described as important for the team amid the pressure surrounding it, and gives United a chance to continue improving in the league. The report said Aston Villa are nearing an agreement on a long-term contract with their manager, Unai Emery.
