This season, we have clubs that are struggling. When it comes to Aston Villa and Manchester United, comparison does not work. The Villans are regarded as a middling team, whereas the Red Devils are regarded as a top flight squad in the EPL, while generating excuses that they are out of form does not convey a relevant impression to me. Erik Ten Hag made an incorrect position signings this summer, and the team suffered as a result. I doubt Manchester United will be able to return to form this season since there are so many holes to fill.
In my opinion, that is the best conclusion when you want to compare Aston Villa with Manchester United. They need to talk about facts and not just a momentary fuss over a dip in form, so set your sights further than just 12 games.
Manchester United holds the record for most titles in Premier League history even though they have failed to win it in the last 10 seasons. Moreover, teams like Manchester City, Newcastle and several other teams continue to develop and this makes the Premier League even more interesting and they also make the Premier League one of the best leagues in the world today. Of course Manchester United are not good so far, but this is just a consequence that must be accepted when other teams play better than them.
