Erik ten Hag was pleased with several aspects of United's defensive display, after the Reds took a point home from Villa Park on Sunday afternoon.
Following on from the frenetic nature of our last game away, at FC Porto in midweek, this meeting with Unai Emery's side in the Midlands was a much tighter contest, with few clear openings for either side.
Much of that was to United's credit, though, as we restricted Aston Villa to little in the final third, while going close on a couple of occasions at the other end – notably, hitting the woodwork twice in the second half through Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
