Last season, Villa were beaten 2-1 at Old Trafford at the same stage and this is the fourth time in seven seasons the clubs have been paired with each other in the tournament.

Its pretty good to get a premier league team. Smile

We tend to flop when Fergie plays the fringe players against those in the lower divisions.

We never make life easy for ourselves, do we? Wink

After all, the '99 trip took in sights like Newcastle, Liverpool, Chelsea, Fulham and Arsenal en route to the Treble... Laughing

Villa is a very tough team to beat at Villapark... Cup match and premier league match is a little different sometimes... Cup match this type of smaller club will go all out cos its a one-off thing... Only hope is to get a draw at Villapark and bring the match back to OT if united can's defeat them away... Neutral

walesa SG

That's not the United way... Cool

Mind, we had one of the most thrilling cup ties there a couple of seasons back when United came from 2 down to score three times. Wink

Villa this season is different, I expect a tough match.

Abonglahor is fast & strong & I feel Man U shld have a look at him. Then you have Barry who is very good at deadball situations.

Don't forget, they beat Chelsea at home, so I think Man U will have to be at their best to beat Aston Villa.

Then again, Villa was never Man U's boo-boo team unlike Bolton or Blackburn.
