There was no Premier League action this weekend at the Theatre of Dreams, Manchester United lined for a friendly match against familiar opposition, Aston Villa FC.

With the absence of some key first team players, Ole Solkjaer picked a weakened starting IX to prosecute the match. A match they eventually lost to Aston Villa by a lone goal.

It's very clear that The United board need to invest more in the team. To get the services of quality players in certain areas of the field. Players that can deliver even in the absence of the likes of Martial, Rashford, Pogba and Fernandes.

This goes to show why they really need a player like Jordan Sancho who has been strongly linked with the club all through the current transfer window. It's time to fast track things.
