Sporta Mole looks at Cristiano Ronaldo's record against Aston Villa ahead of Manchester United's Premier League clash with Unai Emery's side.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be bidding to start a fourth game in a row for Manchester United when the Red Devils head to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The 37-year-old again played the full 90 minutes against Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday, providing the assist for Alejandro Garnacho to score the only goal of the contest.

The 1-0 win was not enough for Man United to automatically qualify for the next round of the competition, though, with the club now facing a knockout playoff against a third-placed Champions League side.

Man United could again be missing Antony, Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho against Villa on Sunday, which might see Ronaldo retain his spot in the starting XI once again.

With that in mind, Sports Mole looks at how the Portugal international, who has only scored three times at club level this term, has performed against Villa in the past.

Ronaldo has faced Villa on 15 occasions during his professional career, all of which have come for Man United, and he boasts a record of 13 wins, one draw and one defeat against them.

The Portuguese has scored nine times versus Sunday's opponents, in addition to registering three assists, with eight of his goals coming in 13 Premier League appearances.

Ronaldo only faced Villa once last season, playing the full 90 minutes of what proved to be a 1-0 defeat for the Red Devils at Old Trafford, with Kortney Hause's late header securing all the points.

The forward missed the return fixture at Villa Park, which was 2-2, due to a hip injury, meaning that he could face Villa away from home for the first time since the 2008-09 season this weekend.

Ronaldo's first goal against Villa came in a 2-0 Man United victory at Villa Park in 2004, while he also scored a brace away to the seven-time English champions in 2006-07.

The forward's best-ever performance against Villa arguably came during the 2007-08 Premier League season, when he scored once and provided three assists in a 4-0 victory at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo also hit a brace against Villa in a 3-2 Man United win in 2009, and he has scored three Premier League goals against the club at Villa Park during his professional career.

The former Sporting Lisbon youngster has also faced the seven-time FA Cup winners on two occasions in the leading cup competition in English football.

Indeed, Ronaldo helped Man United beat Villa 2-1 in the third round of the 2006-07 FA Cup before scoring in a 2-0 victory in the third round of the 2007-08 tournament.
