Aston Villa 0-3 Manchester United - Five talking points

Moyes finally gets it right whilst Lambert left wondering what went wrong

Whilst the defeat in midweek against Shakhtar Donetsk would have certainly boosted the confidence of the players, there was no doubt that nothing less than a victory at Villa Park would do. And his side duly obliged with Villa being obliging opponents true to their recent record against the Red Devils. The sight of Darren Fletcher back on the pitch will certainly come as a huge plus for Moyes as he is on the lookout for central midfielders.

Whilst Moyes would have been pleased with his side’s performance, Lambert on the other hand, would have been wondering why his side took so long to get into the game. One of the main causes for concern for him would be the form of his star striker Christian Benteke who now gone over 12 hours on the pitch without a single goal. The service to him was almost non-existent in this game, and he will be looking to correct that as his side aim for the security of a mid-table finish with a relatively inexperienced side.
