Manchester United next five fixtures compared to top-four rivals Chelsea, Spurs and Aston Villa

Manchester United had to settle for a point as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Aston Villa at Villa Park.

United were unable to get on the score-sheet, they but did manage to keep a clean sheet against an in-form Villa team which beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek. That result means United go into October's international break in 14th place in the Premier League table with just eight points on the board.

Erik ten Hag's team will now rest up for two weeks while international fixtures take place across the globe. United return to Premier League action on Saturday, October 19 when they play Brentford at Old Trafford.
