Michael Carrick could spring a surprise for must-win fixture…

Manchester United face Aston Villa in the Premier League at Old Trafford with manager Michael Carrick dealing with several squad absences. Midfielder Carlos Baleba has been ruled out for multiple weeks after suffering a hamstring injury against Roma, while defender Lisandro Martinez is suspended following his red card against Chelsea. Harry Maguire and Patrick Dorgu remain injury doubts ahead of Sunday's match.
United enter the game sitting 17th in the Premier League table, having recently halted a winless run with a 3-2 Champions League comeback against Roma. Striker Benjamin Sesko remains sidelined until the new year with a shin injury, leading to Bryan Mbeumo being projected to start up front alongside Shea Lacey and Matheus Cunha in attack.
