Manchester United secured a point against Aston Villa which Erik ten Hag hopes will be enough to save his job.

After last Sunday’s harrowing defeat at home to Tottenham and another capitulation midweek against Porto in Europe, another defeat could have signalled the end of the Dutchman’s time in charge at Old Trafford.

United’s hierarchy will meet next week to discuss the manager’s future but a goalless draw on Sunday will help his cause.

In a tame affair on Sunday afternoon, Marcus Rashford was perhaps lucky not to be sent off after his careless challenge on Leon Bailey just moments after being booked.

Bruno Fernandes produced the best effort of the game, with his stunning free kick coming back off the cross bar.

With their midweek heroics against Bayern Munich perhaps taking a physical toll, Villa were unable to punish a downtrodden and uninspired United side on home turf.
