Triple injury scare: Big boost for Man Utd ahead of Aston Villa clash

Manchester United have received a big boost ahead of their crucial Premier League clash with Aston Villa on Sunday.

Unai Emery has revealed that Jacob Ramsey, Leon Bailey and Amadou Onana are doubtful for the game after suffering injuries.

The trio will be assessed ahead of the game before taking a final call on their potential involvement. 

The Villa manager said (via avfc.co.uk): “Both (Ramsey and Bailey) are doubts. I don’t know if they are going to be available for Sunday. He (Onana) is a doubt but I think he will be available.

“Tomorrow morning, even until Sunday morning maybe – Leon Bailey, Jacob Ramsey, Amadou Onana – and how they are recovering from the effort we did on Wednesday is going to be very, very important in my decision.”

Ramsey limped off in the first half in their 1-0 win over Bayern Munich. Bailey replaced the midfielder, but he was also substituted after spending just over 30 minutes on the pitch.

Onana apparently suffered a hamstring injury, but Emery is more confident about his involvement against United.

Man United need all the luck to beat high-flying Aston Villa

United have been embarrassed in recent games, and there is considerable pressure on Erik ten Hag to turn things around.

They were hammered by Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday at Old Trafford. Another defeat at Villa Park could force the United hierarchy to axe the Dutch manager.

October’s international break could offer them some time to bring in a replacement.

Ramsey produced a man-of-the-match performance for Villa against Young Boys in the Champions League.

Onana endured a tough outing against Everton but has made a positive start to life at Villa.

The midfielder presses with great energy and provides defensive security.

He is known for his physical prowess, and United will be happy if he is not in the starting XI.

Bailey is one of the most exciting forwards in the league and can cause havoc on his good days.

He offers blistering speed and superb dribbling skills. His dynamic playing style could cause plenty of problems for United’s defence.

Villa are soaring after their historic victory against Bayern Munich midweek.

Beating another European giant in a space of four days could be massive for the club.
