Raphael Varane returns to the Manchester United XI for Sunday's Premier League game with Aston Villa.

Raphael Varane has returned to the Manchester United XI for Sunday's Premier League game with Aston Villa.

With Lisandro Martinez being ruled out with a knee injury, Varane was competing with Victor Lindelof for a place in the starting lineup.

Although the Frenchman was dropped for last weekend's victory over West Ham United, he is handed an immediate recall in the only change made by Erik ten Hag.

The substitutes' bench also remains the same aside from Jonny Evans returning to the fold to provide extra cover for the backline.

Meanwhile, Unai Emery has also made just the one alteration to his Villa starting lineup, despite the 3-1 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup in midweek.

Jacob Ramsey returns to make just his fifth Premier League start of the season, taking the place of Youri Tielemans who was ineffective against the Blues.

Ramsey supplied the assist for Moussa Diaby's consolation strike, yet the Frenchman remains among the replacements with Leon Bailey getting the nod.

Emery has also avoided temptation to hand Pau Torres a first appearance in 2024, with the Spaniard instead having to remain on the substitutes' bench.

New arrival Morgan Rogers is able to return to the squad after being cup-tied for the FA Cup tie on Wednesday night.

Aston Villa: Martinez; Cash, Carlos, Lenglet, Moreno; McGinn, Kamara, Luiz, J. Ramsey; Bailey; Watkins

Subs: Olsen, Tielemans, Digne, Torres, Diaby, Zaniolo, Rogers, Kesler-Hayden, Ireogbunam

Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Mainoo, Casemiro; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund

Subs: Bayindir, Evans, Lindelof, Diallo, Amrabat, Eriksen, Forson, McTominay, Antony
