The striker was dismissed in the second half of Villa's 1-1 draw with United on Saturday after a 50-50 tackle with former Villa team-mate Ashley Young, but is now available to face Swansea on Boxing Day.

Villa, though, have been charged by the Football Association with "failing to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion" during the game and have until 6pm on December 30 to respond.
