Team news and stats ahead of Man Utd vs Aston Villa in the Premier League on New Year's Day, live on Sky Sports; kick-off 8pm.
Victor Lindelof is a doubt for Manchester United's New Year's Day clash with Aston Villa.
The centre-back has been dealing with a back complaint in recent months and missed Tuesday's last-gasp win against Wolves, when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made six changes to his starting line-up.
The United boss confirmed Alex Telles was replaced by Luke Shaw at half-time against Wolves due to tactical reasons. Marcos Rojo is dealing with a calf complaint and has yet to feature this season.
Tyrone Mings will return from suspension for Villa's trip to Old Trafford. The defender missed the 1-1 draw at Chelsea after being sent off against Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.
Loanee Ross Barkley is back in contention after a hamstring injury having sat out the trip to parent club Chelsea while Wesley (knee) and Trezeguet (thigh) remain sidelined.
