Aston Villa produced a fine performance at Old Trafford this afternoon as they picked up a 2-2 draw at Manchester United.

Villa were superb in their 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Monday, and took that form on the road today with a display that many can be proud of.

Jack Grealish fired Villa into the lead with a quite stunning finish from the left hand side of the box, but United hit back as Marcus Rashford’s effort went down as a Tom Heaton own goal.

United turned the game on its head by going in front through Victor Lindelof, but their second half lead lasted just two minutes, with Tyrone Mings putting Villa back on level terms.

Villa saw out the latter stages of the game to claim a priceless point, and they’ll be looking for a repeat performance against Chelsea in midweek.

Many Villa players turned in superb displays at Old Trafford, and right back Frederic Guilbert was one of them, despite picking up a yellow card that will rule him out of that game against Chelsea.

Fans took to Twitter to hail Guilbert as ‘top class’ and ‘unreal’, suggesting that he had Marcus Rashford, Daniel James and Anthony Martial in his pocket at various stages of the game, whilst marvelling at what a superb signing he has been.
