On December 1, 2019, Man United vs Aston Villa finished 2-2 at Old Trafford as the Red Devils recorded consecutive draws against newly-promoted sides.

Jack Grealish scored a stunning individual effort for Villa, but Tom Heaton's own goal leveled it for United. Victor Lindelof put United back in front before Tyrone Mings responded to earn a point for Villa.

The match saw several key moments, including a brilliant goal from Grealish that left David De Gea helpless in goal. However, United's Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan-Bissaka forced several brilliant saves from Heaton.

United's persistence paid off in the 64th minute as Lindelof took advantage of a misjudged header by an Aston Villa defender to nod the ball home and make it 2-1. The Villans responded soon after as Mings took advantage of a sloppy defending from United to drill in an assist from Matt Targett and make it 2-2.
