Manchester United v Aston Villa - FA Cup third round

Villa had the ball in the back of the net twice but were denied by VAR on both occasions.

Steven Gerrard's side will be feeling unlucky not to get anything from tonight, but will go into Saturday's game against United full of confidence after this evening's display.

Man United will host Middlesbrough in the next round.

The referee blows the whistle and Manchester United are into the fourth round! It ends United 1-0 Villa.

Villa broke and El Ghazi and Watkins both went for the same ball on the edge of the box, the former got their first but went for the glory shot and watched his effort fly high and wide.

Lingard shows some impressive skill before teeing up Greenwood whose shot is straight at Martinez.

There's still time for Villa to get back into this...

The physio's are on to treat Konsa who has blood gushing from his nose after going for the corner. Nothing has been given and when play resumes United will have a goal kick.

Dalot plays a weak header back to De Gea but the Spainaird crucially gets there ahead of Ings.

And United are in no hurry to take it as Fernandes picks his moment to tie his laces up.

Gerrard's men are running out of time... ten to go!

End-to-end stuff at Old Trafford as United creep back into the game, trying and hold on to their 1-0 lead. A second goal could put this game to bed.

Greenwood is away and gets a shot off which Martinez saves, and the rebound is begging to be hammered in by Rahsford, but he froze! Villa get it clear.

Every time they try and play their way out Villa are on to them and retain the ball high up the pitch. Another chance goes begging as Watkins' strike from outside the box is wide.

The cards are coming out in quick succession. This time Dalot is penalised for a foul on Targett.

That's a tactical foul if we've ever seen one... Aston Villa play their way through the United midfield superbly before Shaw is forced to make a challenge and bring down Ramsey.

De Gea denies the right-back and the visitor's have a corner. It's all Villa here...

Douglas Luiz picks up a loose ball in the middle and Fred lunges in to stop him from breaking away, bringing the Villa man down.

United need to be careful here, Villa are in control and are looking as though they're knocking on the door again for an equaliser.
