Manchester: Manchester United threw away a second-half lead to remain eight points outside EPL’s top four with a 2-2 draw at home to Aston Villa on Sunday night. Jack Grealish put Villa in front with a superb solo effort but United levelled before the break when Marcus Rashford’s header hit the post and came off Villa goalkeeper Tom Heaton into his own net before Victor Lindelof then headed the hosts in front. But a week after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men surrendered a late lead to draw 3-3 with Sheffield United, they did not learn their lesson as Tyrone Mings equalised for Villa.

Mourinho to return

United lie in ninth and trail two points behind Tottenham, who visit Old Trafford on Wednesday with new boss Jose Mourinho eyeing revenge for his sacking. "The league table at this point is not the biggest concern, it’s so tight. In six or seven times we have been up and should be better at seeing these games into wins," said Solskjaer.
