Quotes
"Just the way the game was going, you know, emotions are part of the game and certain things we wanted to do, and try and do, and we're not doing it," Man United manager Michael Carrick said after his side's defeat to Newcastle.
"The boys have been fantastic, you know. So, we've lost a game of football and, listen, it hurts me a lot. I'm really, really disappointed with tonight, for different reasons. But we can't lose sight of the position we've put ourselves in as well. So, as much as I'm disappointed, we need to learn from it, because it's a bit of a lesson for us tonight, in some ways.
"We can't lose sight of the bigger picture as well. We've got to be better for this."
Head-To-Head
Villa claimed a 2-1 win over Man United in their last Premier League meeting, which was at Villa Park in December 2025.
The win ended the Villans' five-match winless run in the league against the Red Devils, who had recorded four wins and one draw.
